It lacks zplug load at endfile.

I am getting a similar issue when installing via homebrew on a different OSX.
I still cannot use zplug "out of the box" using curl.

➜  ~  brew install zplug
Warning: zplug 2.4.2 is already installed and up-to-date

zplug is a function, not a program.

You need to find where brew put zplugs init.zsh and source it.

My ~/.zshrc contains the following:

if [ -f ${HOME}/.zplug/init.zsh ]; then
    source ${HOME}/.zplug/init.zsh
fi

Obviously not installed via brew though :D

The brew formula page also says the following (formatting mine):

In order to use zplug, please add the following to your .zshrc:

export ZPLUG_HOME=$(brew --prefix)/opt/zplug
source $ZPLUG_HOME/init.zsh

Perhaps this should be added to the README.md as well, such that this information is easier to discover?

[JamesABaker]

I completely missed that there are extra steps to complete the installation.

This solved the issue for me:

My ~/.zshrc contains the following:

if [ -f ${HOME}/.zplug/init.zsh ]; then
    source ${HOME}/.zplug/init.zsh
fi

Looks getting solved.

The script should either add that code to the zshrc file, or inform the user to do so.

This is so ridiculous. WHy is it built this way:

➜  ~ curl -sL --proto-redir -all,https https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zplug/installer/master/installer.zsh | zsh
 ✔  Checking if your zsh version is newer than 4.1.9 [SUCCEEDED]
 ✔  Installing zplug to /Users/mentor/.zplug [SUCCEEDED]
 All processes are successfully completed 🎉
 For more information, see http://zplug.sh 🌺
 Enjoy zplug!
➜  ~ zplug "lukechilds/zsh-nvm"
zsh: command not found: zplug

this line fixed it for me, zsh 5.3, macOS Mojave
