-otherwise you might receive this message: `zsh: command not found: code`.
+This plugin requires to have a flavour of VS Code installed and it's executable available in PATH.
-[As the docs say](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/mac#_launching-from-the-command-line), open
+You can install either:
+
+* VS Code (code)
+* VS Code Insiders (code-insiders)
+* VSCodium (codium)

+### MacOS
+While Linux installations will add the executable to PATH, MacOS users might still have to do this manually:

+## Using multiple flavours
-But, if you have both Stable and Insiders versions and want to configure the plugin to just use the Insiders version, add the following line in the oh-my-zsh settings section (between the `ZSH_THEME` and the `plugins=()` line). This will make the plugin use the Insiders version instead.
+If for any reason, you ever require to use multiple flavours of VS Code i.e. VS Code (stable) and VS Code Insiders, you can
+manually specify the flavour's executable. Add the following line to the .zshrc file (between the `ZSH_THEME` and the `plugins=()` lines).
+This will make the plugin use your manually defined executable.
```zsh
