We strongly recommend you use the [latest version of OSX FUSE](http://osxfuse.github.io/).
(See https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/issues/177)
* For more details on setting up FUSE (so that you can mount the filesystem), see the docs folder
* Shell command completion is available by running `source misc/completion/ipfs-completion.bash`.
* Shell command completion is available in `misc/completion/ipfs-completion.bash`. Read [docs/command-completion.md](docs/command-completion.md) to learn how to install it.
## Usage

Command Completion
==================
Shell command completion is provided by the script at
`/misc/completion/ipfs-completion.bash`.
The simplest way to see it working is to run
`source misc/completion/ipfs-completion.bash` straight from your shell. This
is only temporary and to fully enable it, you'll have to follow one of the steps
below.
Linux
-----
### Bash
For bash, completion can be enabled in a couple of ways. One is to add the line
`source $GOPATH/src/github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/misc/completion/ipfs-completion.bash`
into your `~/.bash_completion`. It will automatically be loaded the next time
bash is loaded.
To enable ipfs command completion globally on your system you may also
copy the completion script to `/etc/bash_completion.d/`.
