2. git clone --depth 1 -- https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-${ZSH:-~/.oh-my-zsh}/custom}/plugins
3. git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions

THEN need to go to ~/.zshrc and set plugins to: plugins=(git zsh-autosuggestions zsh-autocomplete zsh-syntax-highlighting)
