Now clone the source code of the vim plugin that we want to install, in this example, i am going to install nerdtree: cd vimfiles/pack/vendor/start Note that the HOME is your home directory, on windows, Home directory usually something like C:/Users/your_username.
If the path doesn’t exist, you can manually create it. Move to HOME/vimfiles/pack/vendor/start directory using cd command. Now to install a plugin, let’s start by opening our windows command prompt or there is a new cool windows terminal (if you don’t know about windows terminal, this is a really cool terminal, you can read in my previous article here). Actually it’s very simple, but because vim users mostly are linux users, it kind of difficult to find a reference of Vim for Windows. So if you are someone like me, struggling to install vim plugin, you can follow this step by step guide. As a beginner vim user, even just installing a plugin is already something that confusing, i don’t know why the first time i try to install vim plugin just doesn’t work, even though i believe i have followed the instruction correctly.
