title: How to Install Vim Plugins in a Windows Environment
body: <p>I am just getting started with Vim and setting up the environment with some of the plugins recommended by <a href="http://vimawesome.com/" rel="noreferrer">http://vimawesome.com/</a>. I downloaded and placed plug.vim in <code>C:\Program Files\Vim\vim74\autoload</code>
  and in <code>C:\Program Files\Vim\vimfiles\plugin</code> I put the git master branch <code>nerdtree-master</code> and renamed it to <code>nerdtree</code>. In the <code>_vimrc</code> file, which is otherwise working, I put</p>
  
  <pre><code>Plug 'scroloose/nerdtree
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and</p>
  
  <pre><code>Plug 'nerdtree
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Neither of these commands worked. And I receive this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Error detected while processing C:\Program Files\Vim\_vimrc:
  
  line    7:
  
  E492: Not an editor command: Plug 'nerdtree'
  
  Error detected while processing
  C:\Program Files\Vim\vim74\plugin\nerdtree\lib\nerdtree\path.vim:
  </code></pre>
