+## What is a shell?
+A shell is a program used to execute other programs through text commands. Windows operating systems use shells like **Command Prompt** or **PowerShell**. Linux and macOS use **Bash**, **Zsh**, or **Dash**. Each shell has its own syntax and features, although they generally provide similar functionality for interacting with the operating system.
+
+## Prerequisites
+Most operating systems come with at least one shell pre-installed by default. You can install a different shell if you prefer a different interface or a set of features.
+
+You should also have a [Smartproxy account](https://dashboard.smartproxy.com/register) with access to the [dashboard](https://dashboard.smartproxy.com/residential-proxies/proxy-setup) to get your credentials and endpoint information.
+
+## Installation
+
+To use the shell script file, follow these steps:
+
+1. Open the Command Prompt/Terminal.
+1. Create your project directory using the `mkdir shell_example` command.
+2. Navigate to your project folder using the `cd shell_example` command.
+3. Execute the following command to download the example file:
+
+`curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Smartproxy/Smartproxy/master/shell/shell.sh > shell.sh`

+
+4. You should see a new file named `shell.sh` in your project folder. Open it using an editor of your choice.
+
+5. Set your username, password, and endpoint information you'd like to use and enter them in the following sections of the script:
