One of my friend wants to use C Shell in Ubuntu 11.04 Terminal instead of Bash Shell for sometime, Is there any way to do it without affecting System in any way?

ubuntu has two options, tcsh and csh. tcsh is better c shell then csh To install:
sudo apt-get install tcsh
To run: Open terminal and type
tcsh

I think installing the desired shell and doing chsh -s shell will change the default login shell. If you want to change shell for a particular user do usermod -s shellpath username.

On Unix, users may configure their environment as they wish :) Dec 30, 2011 at 15:27
Based on the title, you do not have either csh or tcsh installed on the system. If you do not want to "affect the system", then I suggest to your friend to download the source code and compile it. Your friend could then install it relative to the home directory instead of to /usr or /usr/local.
