Commands

  1. ZenInstall: Install plugins.
  2. ZenUpdate: Update plugins.
  3. ZenDelete: Remove unused plugins.

Why?

I wanted something really simple, all other plugin managers out there did the things that I wanted along with other stuff. I wanted a plugin manager that helped me install, remove, and update the plugins I use.
