Error with Oh My ZSH themes, ZSH_THEME=”random

zsh

I get the following message after installing Oh My ZSH and changing ZSH_THEME="robbyrussel" to ZSH_THEME="random" in .zshrc.

Users/me/.oh-my-zsh/oh-my-zsh.sh:source:110: no such file or
directory: /Users/me/.oh-my-zsh/themes/“random”.zsh-theme

Remove the "'s from the ZSH_THEME variable. You want:

ZSH_THEME=random

in your .zshrc file. See the zsh theme documentation for an example that shows it, clearly, without the "'s on the value.

Do you have a custom PS1 that is overriding the prompt from the theme you have selected?

Check you don't have any additional lines in ~/.zshrc beyond the default?
1. Backup your .zshrc
2. Delete all lines beyond export PATH=$PATH:/…
3. Reload your Terminal
Do you have any plugins that are messing with things?
- Check ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/ for any additional plugins.
- Remove all your plugins from your ~/.zshrc and reload your Terminal.
Check you don't have any additional lines in your ~/.zprofile?
```
mv ~/.zprofile ~/.zprofile-bak
```
…and reload your Terminal. (Put back with mv ~/.zprofile-bak ~/.zprofile)

^{Note: trapd00r and linuxonly show the same errors for me}
