Can't source .profile without .zshrc

I have the following lines in my .zshrc

source /etc/profile    
source $HOME/.profile

My .profile won't load without them, although .profile should be loaded by default on Unix systems.

How can you download the .profile without looking for it on the .zshrc?

Have a look at the Zsh manual which says to use ~/.zprofile

instead ~/.profile

.

In addition to what Martin says about zprofile vs profile, also note that / etc / zprofile and ~ / .zprofile are only read when zsh is started as a login shell. If it is "just" an interactive shell, it will only read .zshrc. So the question is how do you get started with zsh. If you are using something like Gnome Terminal, you can set in your profile settings that the shell should be started as the login shell.
