Install Vim plugins example #19

Closed 4zo4 closed 7 years ago

4zo4 commented 7 years ago

Hi there,

I installed codequery and it works fine as a standalone. The displayed 'vim-codequery' demo looks very powerful. I followed the instructions on how to install the Vim plugins. Per the installation example I used the 'Plug' plugin manager:

  1. ~/.vim/autoload$ curl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim
  2. ~/.vim$ mkdir plugged
  3. ~/.vim/plugged$ git clone https://github.com/devjoe/vim-codequery.git
  4. vim .vimrc and added (I missed adding the 'unity' plugin for the initial test)
    call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged') Plug 'vim-codequery' call plug#end()
  5. invoke gvim (version 8.0.685) raised the following error:

"[vim-plug] Invalid argument: vim-codequery (implicit `vim-scripts' expansion is deprecated)"

Can both 'vim-codequery' and 'unity' plugins be installed without a plugin manager? It would be great if instructions were available somewhere.

If a plugin manager is required, can the installation example show a working case?

Thank you,

4zo4

Hi @4zo4 ,

Just change vim-codequery to devjoe/vim-codequery in step 4. In fact, you don't have to download vim-codequery manually. Just let plug manager help you to download any plugin from Github. Or you can specify a complete path to the vim-codequery directory, such as ~/.vim/plugged/vim-codequery.

FYI, you can find the cause of this exception here.

Vim8 comes with a primitive plugin manager. Let me take some time to try. I will rewrite installation part because of this issue and #18.

Thank you!

Oh, it's quite easy to use Vim8's package manager. Installation guide was done in #18. So I closed this issue.

Still feel free to ask me any question.
