Will I have fitting issues with these two items?

Hi, I'm new to the forums so excuse me if this is in the wrong place, anyway I'm planning on getting hydraulic brakes,
Hydraulic Brakes:

But I also need to get separate shifters, my derailleur is a Shimano Altus 7 Speed,

Here is the shifters I plan to get:

I need to know whether I will have any fitting issues when putting them onto my bars and I need to know whether the shifters are compatible with the derailleur. Thanks for reading.

They'll work fine both with your Avid brake levers and with your derailleur. The shifters come in both 7 and 8 speed versions. Just make sure you get the one that matches your number of rear cogs.

I have those exact levers on a rigid mountain bike and a hybrid and have been perfectly satisfied with them. Mine even came with the shift wires installed.
