* Debian: `zsh-syntax-highlighting` package [in `stretch`][debian-package] (or in [OBS repository][obs-repository])
* Fedora: [zsh-syntax-highlighting package][fedora-package-alt] in Fedora 24+ (or in [OBS repository][obs-repository])

Second, enable zsh-syntax-highlighting by sourcing the script. Running this command on the terminal will add the source line to the end of your .zshrc:
* On most Linux distributions (except perhaps NixOS):
```zsh
echo "source /usr/share/zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh" >> ${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zshrc
```
* NetBSD and OpenBSD:
```zsh
echo "source /usr/local/share/zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh" >> ${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zshrc
```
* Mac OS X / Homebrew:
```zsh
echo "source $(brew --prefix)/share/zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh" >> ${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zshrc
```
Then restart zsh (such as by opening a new instance of your terminal emulator).
Alternatively, add the `source` command manually **at the end** of your `.zshrc`:
* On most Linux distributions (except perhaps NixOS):
`source /usr/share/zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh`
* NetBSD and OpenBSD:
`source /usr/local/share/zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh`
Then restart zsh.
