Installation
*For simplicity, let's use [VIM_ROOT] which will mean ~/.vim (*nix) or ~/vimfiles (Windows)
The NERD Commenter requires Vim 7 or higher is comprised of 2 files:
plugin/NERD_commenter.vim
doc/NERD_commenter.txt
Classic Install
- Extract the plugin files into your [VIM_ROOT]/pulgin and [VIM_ROOT]/doc folders respectively.
- Finish the install by updating your help files. Run:
:helptags [VIM_ROOT]/doc
See |add-local-help| for more details.
Pathogen Install
- Navigate to your [VIM_ROOT]/bundle directory in your local Vim setup
- git clone https://github.com/scrooloose/nerdcommenter.git
Post Install
After the 'Classic' or 'Pathogen' install, make sure that you have filetype plugins enabled, as the script makes use of
|'commentstring'| where possible (which is usually set in a filetype plugin).
See |filetype-plugin-on| for details, but basically, stick this in your vimrc:
filetype plugin on
