Zsh gives "permission denied" error on iTerm2

I configured my zsh by downloading the latest using homebrew on Yosemite. So the default shell is /usr/local/bin/zsh on iTerm2 application.

However, when I try the command

$ ..
$ zsh: permission denied: .. 

It doesn't output the directory contents as it is supposed to. Can I also try other features to verify if zsh shell is configured correctly?

You need to add

setopt autocd

to your ~/.zshrc file to be able to change dirs this way. See for more info.
