The stock shell configuration examples for Pyenv 2.0.0-2.2.5 for MacOS assume that the shell in the terminal runs as a login shell.

Bash:

shopt -q login_shell && echo 'Login shell' || echo 'Not login shell'

Zsh:

if [[ -o login ]]; then echo "login shell"; else echo "not login shell"; fi

Fish:

status --is-login; and echo "login shell"; or echo "not login shell"

There are two possible ways here.

System Preferences > Users and groups > Open the padlock to allow changes > Right click on the corresponding user's name > Advanced options > Select the shell from the dropdown list next to Login shell
- Alternatively, in the terminal: chsh -s <shell>
Then, in the Terminal app: Preferences > General > Open shells with > Predefined login shell

In the Terminal app: Preferences > General > Open shells with > Command (full path)
- Zsh: /bin/zsh --login
- Bash: /bin/bash -l
- Fish: <path to fish executable> --login
