We're using Antibody, but this plugin mentions a manual option.

Another mention of manual installation.

This one lists Homebrew first, and doesn't explicitly show a manual variation.

The zsh-syntax-highlighting authors recommend manual installation over the use of a framework or plugin manager.

The plugin is "standalone", which means that only sourcing it is needed. So to install, unpack history-search-multi-word somewhere and add

source {where-hsmw-is}/history-search-multi-word.plugin.zsh

to zshrc.

Spaceship Prompt has longer manual instructions than other plugins.

It can also be installed with npm, so we could put it in setup-node.zsh with other global installs.

While not technically a plugin, Improved Nano Syntax Highlighting Files could be installed in similar fashion.

Look into this instead of, or in addition to, c107ed4a6ce8e852aba65d0465bd7b960ac814bf.
