Research direction
Reproduce the failure with the Homebrew-installed Datasette 0.65.1 and the datasette install datasette-plot command; the issue names no repository files or tests. Establish what successful installation should do when Datasette lacks a RECORD file, then verify the resolution using the same command.

Description
I get an error trying to install this plugin.
I installed datasette via brew:
> brew info datasette
