Description of issue

When I installed the plugin using homebrew, ohmyzsh could not detect it. Whereas if I install it not with homebrew, ohmyzsh can work fine. and I have added eval “$(/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)” on the last line of .zshrc

Which plugin?

[knevan]

What doesn't work? Because you said the plugins don't work, but they aren't plugins, so that makes sense.

Sorry for the confusion, I meant that packages and tools downloaded via homebrew cannot be recognized by ohmyzsh. Although linuxhomebrew is already in the PATH, can this be solved on homebrew side or I need to create an issue in ohmyzsh?

[SMillerDev]

Although linuxhomebrew is already in the PATH

Is it also in the path when ohmyzsh gets initialised?

[knevan]

Yes, but when I checked the PATH it turned out that the linuxhomebrew path was duplicated many times. Is it because I put it under ohmyzsh?

export ZSH="$HOME/.oh-my-zsh"

plugins=(git zoxide fzf)

source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh

eval "$(/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)"

[SMillerDev]

In that order it's very understandable that ohmyzsh can't find them. You'll need to put the brew shellenv call before the sourcing of oh-my-zsh.

Thank you, it works now 🙏
