*The Fuck* is a magnificent app, inspired by a [@liamosaur](https://twitter.com/liamosaur/)
[tweet](https://twitter.com/liamosaur/status/506975850596536320),
that corrects errors in previous console commands.

## Requirements
- python (3.4+)
- pip
- python-dev
##### [Back to Contents](#contents)
## Installation
On macOS or Linux, you can install *The Fuck* via [Homebrew][homebrew]:
```bash
brew install thefuck
```
On Ubuntu / Mint, install *The Fuck* with the following commands:
```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3-dev python3-pip python3-setuptools
pip3 install thefuck --user
```
On FreeBSD, install *The Fuck* with the following commands:
```bash
pkg install thefuck
```
On ChromeOS, install *The Fuck* using [chromebrew](https://github.com/skycocker/chromebrew) with the following command:
```bash
crew install thefuck
```
On other systems, install *The Fuck* by using `pip`:
```bash
pip install thefuck
```
[Alternatively, you may use an OS package manager (OS X, Ubuntu, Arch).](https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck/wiki/Installation)
#
It is recommended that you place this command in your `.bash_profile`,
`.bashrc`, `.zshrc` or other startup script:
```bash
eval $(thefuck --alias)
# You can use whatever you want as an alias, like for Mondays:
eval $(thefuck --alias FUCK)
```
[Or in your shell config (Bash, Zsh, Fish, Powershell, tcsh).](https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck/wiki/Shell-aliases)
Changes are only available in a new shell session. To make changes immediately
available, run `source ~/.bashrc` (or your shell config file like `.zshrc`).
To run fixed commands without confirmation, use the `--yeah` option (or just `-y` for short, or `--hard` if you're especially frustrated):
```bash
fuck --yeah
```
To fix commands recursively until succeeding, use the `-r` option:
```bash
fuck -r
```
##### [Back to Contents](#contents)
## Updating
```bash
pip3 install thefuck --upgrade
```
**Note: Alias functionality was changed in v1.34 of *The Fuck***
## Uninstall
To remove *The Fuck*, reverse the installation process:
- erase or comment *thefuck* alias line from your Bash, Zsh, Fish, Powershell, tcsh, ... shell config
- use your package manager (brew, pip3, pkg, crew, pip) to uninstall the binaries
