+**Pyenv maintainers encourage you to install pyenv using either the [GitHub checkout method](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv#basic-github-checkout) or via [Homebrew](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv#homebrew-on-macos)**
+
+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](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv/pull/1598)_
+
+Add the following line to your `.zshrc`:
+
+```zplug "RiverGlide/zsh-pyenv", from:gitlab```
+
+Then install the plugin
+
+~~~ zsh
+  $ 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:
+
+```sh
+$ zplug update RiverGlide/zsh-pyenv
+```
