installing vim plug

[M.R.P.]

Hello I am trying to install vim plug on linux. I have the vim plug
script downloaded but am unsure about the directory to install it in and
how to get it to work from their.

Try
:help runtimepath

To find out about the default locations you can install plugins and
how to modify that if needed.

you can also use runtimepath to completely disable plugins

You need to install the file (which should be called plug.vim) in the
directory ~/.vim/autoload. (The "~" here means your home directory.) You can
ensure that the directory exists by running this command at the command
line:

mkdir -p ~/.vim/autoload

Then move or copy the plug.vim file into the "autoload" directory.

Alternatively, the vim-plug README [1] provides a single command you can run
that will create the directory if necessary, download the file, and save it
into the right place:

curl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \

Hope this helps,

Benjamin

If your Vim version is 8 or above, do ':h packages' and you'll find the
necessary information. If your version is less than 8, check e.g.
pathogen.vim for plugin management.
