ZPLUG-INSTALL(1)

📦 version 2.4.2, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 zplug-install — the "go get ur packages, bestie" era

okay so. this is a page from the ZPLUG Manual, and it's about zplug-install — the lil command that installs ur packages in parallel. like, multiple at once. multitasking queen behavior fr fr 👑

✨ NAME ✨

zplug-install — Install packages in parallel 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

zplug install ["username/reponame"]

and a lil vocab note bestie, don't skip it: the word package refers to the string in the format: "username/reponame". that's it. that's the whole format. slay. 💖

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

it installs the package that has not yet been installed, even though it is described in the file. so like... the file already said "hey we want this one" and zplug is just now actually going and getting it. not me showing up late to the party but still showing up 💅

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

  • (None) — no options. literally none. zero. the option section said "I'm gonna sit this one out" and honestly? iconic. we respect the boundaries 🫶

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

Install all not-installed packages — the full send, no filter:

$ zplug install

Install a particular package verbosely — when you wanna watch it happen in real time, main character energy:

$ zplug install ´some_author/some_repo´
Installing...        some_author/some_repo
Installed!           some_author/some_repo (2.59s)
 ==> Installation finished successfully!
 zplug: total wall-time 2.664253 sec.

okay the ==> arrow and the total wall-time?? that's the receipts, bestie. we love a timestamped victory lap ✨

🧚 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES 🧚

  • ZPLUG_THREADS — the maximum number of threads zplug should use when installing/updating. default value is 16. sixteen threads going at once, she's got hands 😭
  • ZPLUG_PROTOCOL — defaults to HTTPS. valid options for $ZPLUG_PROTOCOL are HTTPS or SSH. unless you have a specific reason, you should use the HTTPS protocol. for more information, see also Which remote URL should I use? - GitHub Help.
