# Set Up Vim-Plug With Neovim
|
|
|
|
To get [vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug) working with Neovim, it
|
|
needs to be installed in a known autoload directory.
|
|
|
|
The help files say that "plugins installed by user" should be located in the
|
|
data home directory at `stdpath("data")` under `site`. For me (on OSX) the data
|
|
home directory is `~/.local/share/nvim`, so `~/.local/share/nvim/site`.
|
|
|
|
Under this site directory, along with any directories on the `runtimepath`,
|
|
Neovim looks for various runtime files and subdirectories. This includes the
|
|
`/autoload` directory. That's where you want to install `vim-plug`.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
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'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This shell statement uses [the `:-` parameter
|
|
expansion](../unix/provide-a-fallback-value-for-unset-parameter.md) to specify a
|
|
path using either the `XDG_DATA_HOME` or `$HOME` as a fallback. This ends up
|
|
resolving to `~/.local/share`, so the `plug.vim` file is placed in
|
|
`~/.local/share/nvim/site/autload/`.
|
|
|
|
See `:h runtimepath` for more details.
