For Vim 8 and beyond (>2018), installing through plug repository manager:
$ curl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim
once installed, make sure you have a ~/.vimrc in your home folder.
open it (with vim) and add the lines:
call plug#begin()
Plug 'vim-scripts/taglist.vim'
call plug#end()
save your file (':wq!')
open vim
:PlugInstall
and you should have it working!
the same works for any plugin hosted in github; just add between the call plug#begin() all the plugins you want to install (by referencing 'gitaccount/pluginname' (e.g. 'presevim/NERDTree') and you will add them to the install list.
.cim
supposed to be.vim
and exuberant-tags exuberant-ctags?
