 That is slightly slower since its generating the completion code on the fly -- see [click docs](https://click.palletsprojects.com/en/8.0.x/shell-completion/#enabling-completion) for more info
 
-To use the completions here:
+To use the generated completion files in this repository, you need to source the file in `./bash`, `./zsh`, or `./fish` depending on your shell.
+
+If you don't have HPI cloned locally, after installing `HPI` you can generate the file yourself using one of the commands above. For example, for `bash`: `_HPI_COMPLETE=bash_source hpi > ~/.config/hpi_bash_completion`, and then source it like `source ~/.config/hpi_bash_completion`
 
 ### bash
 
-Put `source /path/to/bash/_hpi` in your `~/.bashrc`
+Put `source /path/to/hpi/repo/misc/completion/bash/_hpi` in your `~/.bashrc`
 
 ### zsh
 
 You can either source the file:
 
-`source /path/to/zsh/_hpi`
+`source /path/to/hpi/repo/misc/completion/zsh/_hpi`
 
 ..or add the directory to your `fpath` to load it lazily:
 
-`fpath=("/path/to/zsh/" "${fpath[@]}")` (Note: the directory, not the script `_hpi`)
+`fpath=("/path/to/hpi/repo/misc/completion/zsh/" "${fpath[@]}")` (Note: the directory, not the script `_hpi`)
 
 If your zsh configuration doesn't automatically run `compinit`, after modifying your `fpath` you should:
