### Cargo (crates.io)

![Crates.io](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/eza?link=https%3A%2F%2Fcrates.io%2Fcrates%2Feza)

If you already have a Rust environment set up, you can use the `cargo install` command:

    cargo install eza

Cargo will build the `eza` binary and place it in your `CARGO_INSTALL_ROOT`.
For more details on installation location see [the cargo
book](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/commands/cargo-install.html#description).

### Cargo (git)

If you already have a Rust environment set up, you can use the `cargo install` command in your local clone of the repo:

    git clone https://github.com/eza-community/eza.git
    cd eza
    cargo install --path .

Cargo will build the `eza` binary and place it in `$HOME/.cargo`.

### Debian and Ubuntu

Eza is available from [deb.gierens.de](http://deb.gierens.de). The GPG public
key is in this repo under [deb.asc](/deb.asc).

First make sure you have the `gpg` command, and otherwise install it via:

```bash
sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eza-community/eza/main/deb.asc | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/gierens.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/gierens.gpg] http://deb.gierens.de stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gierens.list
sudo chmod 644 /etc/apt/keyrings/gierens.gpg /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gierens.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y eza
```
_Note_: In strict apt environments, you may need to add the target: `echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=...`

```

##### Add the completion path to your zsh configuration:

Replace `<path_to_eza>` with the actual path where you cloned the `eza` repository.

echo 'export FPATH="<path_to_eza>/completions/zsh:$FPATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
```

##### Reload your zsh configuration:

```sh
source ~/.zshrc
```


#### For zsh with homebrew:

In case zsh completions don't work out of the box with homebrew, add the
following to your `~/.zshrc`:

```bash
if type brew &>/dev/null; then
    FPATH="$(brew --prefix)/share/zsh/site-functions:${FPATH}"
    autoload -Uz compinit
    compinit
fi
