ZShot completes flags and their values in bash, zsh, and fish. How the script loads depends on the install.

## APT repository and .deb

The package installs the scripts where each shell loads them, so completions work in the next shell you open:

| Shell | File |
| --- | --- |
| bash | `/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/zshot` |
| zsh | `/usr/share/zsh/vendor-completions/_zshot` |
| fish | `/usr/share/fish/vendor_completions.d/zshot.fish` |

bash loads the script through the `bash-completion` package.

## Homebrew

The cask prints these lines after install. Add the one for your shell to its profile:

```sh
# ~/.bashrc
source <(zshot --completions bash)

# ~/.zshrc, after compinit
source <(zshot --completions zsh)

# ~/.config/fish/config.fish
zshot --completions fish | source
```

## Linux tarball

`share/` in the tarball holds the same three files as the `.deb`. The system install in `INSTALL.txt` copies them under `/usr/share`. When running in place, use the profile lines above with the path to the extracted `zshot`.

## Other shells

[`--completions`](/reference/flags/common/completions) also generates scripts for elvish and powershell.
