Some package managers don't install Neovim's rplugins correctly. It would be helpful for our users if we noticed that.

Hi, I just ran into this issue with vim-plug. After installing the plugin, the :Floo.. commands are not defined at all.. I think a short notice on the neovim-help page would be very helpful in addressing this.

So, the steps that need to be done after the plugin is installed with vim-plug:

after installation, manually call :UpdateRemotePlugins
if your neovim version does not have the above command, you'll have to update neovim

Ok thank you! Working on it.

I had this problem after installing with the Vundle method described on https://floobits.com/help/plugins/nvim

The steps mentioned above were all I needed:

After installing, run :UpdateRemotePlugins and restart nvim.

The "Manual (not recommended)" section on the webpage needs to be cleaned up, and until the underlying bug is fixed, the update remote command recommended for both install methods.

Thanks for the great plugin!
