I have only one plugin at the moment (CtrlP) and I don't want to polute my environment with additional stuff that I'll have to depend on.
So I tried installing NERDTree directly (cloned from git in .vim/bundle
), but I get error after error, for example I added:
autocmd VimEnter * NERDTree
to .vimrc
and I got:
Error detected while processing VimEnter Auto commands for "*":
E492: Not an editor command: NERDTree`.
So I gave up at the end and now I'm using the simple :edit
.
The thing is - can I manually install NERDTree - or any plugin at all - directly?
.vim/bundle
is a pathogen thing. If you already installed CtrlP without pathogen you simply have to do the same for nerdtree.~/.vim/pack/dist/start/nerdtree
