I think that the installation is fine, but wasmtime is just not yet in your PATH, as your .zshrc is readonly.

Should have mentioned: the installer exited with result 1 as well, so I don't know whether the installer planned to do anything else after this step?

I've now added ~/.wasmtime/bin to my PATH in .zprofile and it appears to work.

Also, editing a users config files without telling them just seems wrong to me. It would be nice to have options to disable this like rustup's installer has. I have a carefully constructed rc/profile file, which is why I have it readonly to avoid installers messing with it.
