+
+#### Bash
+
+If you have [`bash-completion`](https://github.com/scop/bash-completion) installed, you can just copy your new completion script to the `/usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d` directory.
+
+```bash
+curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/slhck/ffmpeg-normalize/master/completions/ffmpeg-normalize-completion.bash \
+  -o /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/ffmpeg-normalize
+```
+
+Without bash-completion, you can manually install the completion script:
+
+```bash
+# create completions directory if it doesn't exist
+mkdir -p ~/.bash_completions.d
+
+# download and install completion script
+curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/slhck/ffmpeg-normalize/master/completions/ffmpeg-normalize-completion.bash \
+  -o ~/.bash_completions.d/ffmpeg-normalize
+
+# source it in your ~/.bashrc
+echo 'source ~/.bash_completions.d/ffmpeg-normalize' >> ~/.bashrc
+```
+
+#### Zsh
+
+Download the completion script and place it in the default `site-functions` directory:
+
+```bash
+curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/slhck/ffmpeg-normalize/master/completions/ffmpeg-normalize.zsh \
+  -o /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/

+
+If you have [`bash-completion`](https://github.com/scop/bash-completion) installed, you can just copy your new completion script to the `/usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d` directory.
+
+```bash
+curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/slhck/ffmpeg-normalize/master/completions/ffmpeg-normalize-completion.bash \
+  -o /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/ffmpeg-normalize

+
+Without bash-completion, you can manually install the completion script:
+
+```bash
+# create completions directory if it doesn't exist
+mkdir -p ~/.bash_completions.d
+
+# download and install completion script
+curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/slhck/ffmpeg-normalize/master/completions/ffmpeg-normalize-completion.bash \
+  -o ~/.bash_completions.d/ffmpeg-normalize
+
+# source it in your ~/.bashrc
+echo 'source ~/.bash_completions.d/ffmpeg-normalize' >> ~/.bashrc
+```
+
+#### Zsh
+
+Download the completion script and place it in the default `site-functions` directory:
+
+```bash
+curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/slhck/ffmpeg-normalize/master/completions/ffmpeg-normalize.zsh \
+  -o /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/
+```
+
+You may choose any other directory that is in your `$FPATH` variable.
+Make sure your `.zshrc` file contains `autoload -Uz compinit && compinit`.

 * When the required gain adjustment to meet the integrated loudness target would result in the true peak exceeding the specified true peak limit. This is because linear processing alone cannot reduce peaks without affecting the entire signal. For example, if a file needs to be amplified by 6 dB to reach the target integrated loudness, but doing so would push the true peak above the specified limit, the filter might switch to dynamic mode to handle this situation. If your content allows for it, you can increase the true peak target to give more headroom for linear processing. If you're consistently running into true peak issues, you might also consider lowering your target integrated loudness level.
 
-At this time, the `loudnorm` filter in ffmpeg does not provide a way to force linear mode when the input loudness range exceeds the target or when the true peak would be exceeded.
