14## Configuration
15
16When `shellcheck` is available `bash-language-server` will use it internally to provide diagnostics.
17
18### Install `shellcheck`:
19
20```sh
21brew install shellcheck             # macOS (HomeBrew)
22apt-get install shellcheck          # Ubuntu/Debian
23pacman -S shellcheck                # ArchLinux
24dnf install shellcheck              # Fedora
25yum install shellcheck              # CentOS/RHEL
26zypper install shellcheck           # openSUSE
27choco install shellcheck            # Windows (Chocolatey)
28```
29
30And verify it is available from your path:
31
32```sh
33which shellcheck
34shellcheck --version
35```
36
37If you wish to customize the warnings/errors reported you just need to create a `.shellcheckrc` file. You can do this in the root of your project or in your home directory (`~/.shellcheckrc`). See: [shellcheck documentation](https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/wiki/Ignore#ignoring-one-or-more-types-of-errors-forever) for more.
