> **Note**: If `juicefs` is not placed in your `$PATH`, you should run the script with the path to the script. For example, if `juicefs` is placed in current directory, you should use `./juicefs`. It is recommended to place `juicefs` in your `$PATH` for convenience.

> **Note**: If the command option is boolean type (such as `--debug` option), there is no need to set a specific value when specifying this type of option. For example, it should not be written like `--debug true`, and directly written as `--debug`. If it is specified, it means this option takes effect, otherwise it does not take effect.

## Auto Completion

> **Note**: This feature requires JuiceFS >= 0.15.0. It is implemented based on `github.com/urfave/cli/v2`. You can find more information [here](https://github.com/urfave/cli/blob/master/docs/v2/manual.md#enabling).

To enable commands completion, simply source the script provided within `hack/autocomplete`. For example:

Bash:

```bash
$ source hack/autocomplete/bash_autocomplete
```

Zsh:

```bash
$ source hack/autocomplete/zsh_autocomplete
```

Please note the auto-completion is only enabled for the current session. If you want it for all new sessions, add the `source` command to `.bashrc` or `.zshrc`:

```bash
$ echo "source path/to/bash_autocomplete" >> ~/.bashrc
```

or

```bash
$ echo "source path/to/zsh_autocomplete" >> ~/.zshrc
```

Alternatively, if you are using bash on a Linux system, you may just copy the script to `/etc/bash_completion.d` and rename it to `juicefs`:

```bash
$ sudo cp hack/autocomplete/bash_autocomplete /etc/bash_completion.d/juicefs
$ source /etc/bash_completion.d/juicefs
```
