Return to Question

I have installed the WSL version of Debian and changed the default shell to zsh. Now I cant find the man pages. the ZSH shell doesnt recognize any command related to the man pages.

I've tried

man-db
man

and always get this

zsh: command not found: man-db

How can I get the manpages under WSL Debian using ZSH?

I thought that maybe the manpages are not automatically installed with the WSL package, even though this would be odd.

My other guess is that it has to do with using oh-my-zsh.

I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS as WSL as well and there is no such problem. When I type

man man

I get the man help pages.

Thank you in advance
