Error detected while processing vimrc: - how to take pugins in vim

Question

Today I was making my custom vimrc, but it gives me this error. It is not allowing me to use any plugins. Can somebody help by telling what I am doing wrong? These lines are the error that it is showing:

Install the plug.vim before use it. bash curl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim See the installation procedure for your operating system on github.com/junegunn/vim-plug – Tyishatyke

Answer 1

You need to install vim-plug, you can find instructions on how to do that here: https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug#installation

Answer 2

For those who are using neovim on Ubunutu or another debian based OS, you will need to add the path for your plug.vim file (plugins directory) in the plug#begin() line.

For example, if you are using ubuntu and installed vim-plug using sh -c 'curl -fLo "${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}"/nvim/site/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim' , then your plug.vim file may be under ~/.local/share/nvim/site/autoload/plug.vim.

Therefore your plug#begin() line should look as follows:

call plug#begin('~/.local/share/nvim/site/autoload')
