# Command-Not-Found

When you try to use a command that is not available locally, searches the
package manager for a package offering that command and suggests the proper
install command.

Debian and Arch Linux based distributions use the [`command-not-found`][1] tool.

macOS uses Homebrew's [`command-not-found` clone][2]. This module will
automatically load it without needing to manually source `handler.sh` from
`.zshrc` per the [instructions][3].

Note: Prior to [Homebrew 4.6.12][4], you may have also needed to tap the
[`command-not-found` Homebrew repository][5]. This will still work as a
fallback when the `command-not-found` handler can't be detected in Homebrew
core, but the repository has been deprecated and may print a warning. After
upgrading Homebrew, it can be untapped.
