## ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

*ZPLUG\_LOADFILE*

Defaults to $ZPLUG\_HOME/packages.zsh. This file is used to add packages from zplug on the command-line. This is a useful feature when you want to isolate your zplug configurations from your .zshrc. Note that you don’t need to add packages from the command line to use this feature: you can manually edit this file, and it’ll work just fine!

*ZPLUG\_USE\_CACHE*

Defaults to true. If this variable is true, zplug uses a cache file to speed up the loading process. The cache file is located at $ZPLUG\_CACHE\_DIR ($ZPLUG\_HOME/.cache by default). If you want to clear the cache, please run zplug clear or do the following:

```
$ ZPLUG_USE_CACHE=false zplug load
```

*ZPLUG\_CACHE\_DIR*

Defaults to $ZPLUG\_HOME/.cache. Specifies where to save the cache. For example, you can set this to $HOME/.cache/zplug/cache to follow XDG Base Directory Specification
