Pyenv maintainers encourage you to install pyenv using either the GitHub checkout method or via Homebrew

However, there are other unofficial ways which you can install pyenv which are listed here. The following methods are not tested, maintained, or supported by the pyenv team:

ZPlug plugin manager for Zsh

suggested by @andypalmer in #1598

Add the following line to your .zshrc:

zplug "RiverGlide/zsh-pyenv", from:gitlab

Then install the plugin

  $ source ~/.zshrc
  $ zplug install

The ZPlug plugin will install and initialise pyenv and add pyenv and pyenv-install to your PATH

Upgrading via ZPlug

To upgrade to the latest version of pyenv, update the ZPlug plugin:

$ zplug update RiverGlide/zsh-pyenv

BUILD FAILED (Linuxmint using python-build 2.4.15)
