For root, you must use the --unsafe-perm option for npm.

npm i -g zsh-history-enquirer --unsafe-perm

one-line command

You can use a one-line command (which will auto install node via nvm, if node command not found)

curl -#sSL https://github.com/zthxxx/zsh-history-enquirer/raw/master/scripts/installer.zsh | zsh

manually without oh-my-zsh

If you don't use oh-my-zsh, you can manually add the source plugin file to your .zshrc after npm is installed and manually remove the source command when it is uninstalled.

echo 'source `npm root -g`/zsh-history-enquirer/scripts/zsh-history-enquirer.plugin.zsh' >> ~/.zshrc

Usage

This plugin will replace the default ZSH history search with the ^R shortcut.

Just press ^R (Ctrl + R) to enjoy enhanced history search!
