+
 ### Installing
-To install for all users:
+**You can install a release version from pip:**
+```bash
+pip install sshch
 ```
+**Manual installation from the package or git repository also available:**
+
+To install for all users:
+```bash
 sudo python setup.py install
 ```
 To install just for current user:
-```
+```bash
 mkdir ~/.local/bin
 cp sshch/sshch ~/.local/bin/
 ```
 ### Using
 To run curses interface:
-```
+```bash
 sshch
 ```
 To run command line help:
-```
+```bash
 sshch -h
 ```
-**If you want to use unsafe 'password' feature you must install 'sshpass' first.**
+For exit from current ssh session press `Ctrl+D`.
+
+**Additional Features**
+- If you want to use unsafe 'password' feature you must install `sshpass` first.
+- If you want to use bash autocompletion function with sshch, copy autocompletion script to /etc/bash_completion.d/:
+```bash
+sudo cp completion/sshch_bash_completion.sh /etc/bash_completion.d/sshch
+```
+(changes will come into effect with new bash session)
+- If you want to use zsh autocompletion:
+1) Place File in a Directory where ZSH can find it
+
+     -> Search Path is Stored in $fpath
+
+     -> echo $fpath
+2) Rename File to '_sshch'
