To make Byobu default on your local machine

Byobu-enable only currently modifies your .bashrc and .bash_profile, to get byobu launching by default with Zsh you need to follow these instruction

Add the following line to the bottom of your ~/.zshrc
_byobu_sourced=1 . /usr/bin/byobu-launch 2>/dev/null || true

To make Byobu default when SSH’ing into a machine

Add the same line to the bottom of ~/.zprofile

Update: I’ve not been able to get this working on AWS. I’m using Ubuntu… anyone got any additional tips
