# Quickstart
```
sh <(curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ellie/atuin/main/install.sh)
atuin register -u -e -p
atuin import auto
atuin sync
```
## Install
### Script (recommended)
The install script will help you through the setup, ensuring your shell is
properly configured. It will also use one of the below methods, preferring the
system package manager where possible (AUR, homebrew, etc etc).
```
# do not run this as root, root will be asked for if required
sh <(curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ellie/atuin/main/install.sh)
```
### With cargo
It's best to use [rustup](https://rustup.rs/) to get setup with a Rust
toolchain, then you can run:
```
cargo install atuin
```
### AUR
Atuin is available on the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/atuin/)
```
yay -S atuin # or your AUR helper of choice
```
### From source
```
git clone https://github.com/ellie/atuin.git
cd atuin
cargo install --path .
```
## Shell plugin
Once the binary is installed, the shell plugin requires installing. If you use
the install script, this should all be done for you!
### zsh
```
echo 'eval "$(atuin init zsh)"' >> ~/.zshrc
```
### bash
We need to setup some hooks, so first install bash-preexec:
```
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rcaloras/bash-preexec/master/bash-preexec.sh -o ~/.bash-preexec.sh
echo '[[ -f ~/.bash-preexec.sh ]] && source ~/.bash-preexec.sh' >> ~/.bashrc
```
Then setup Atuin
```
echo 'eval "$(atuin init bash)"' >> ~/.bashrc
```
## ...what's with the name?
Atuin is named after "The Great A'Tuin", a giant turtle from Terry Pratchett's
Discworld series of books.
