Vim Plug Nerdtree

The vim-plug plugin manages vim plugins! Installation:

curl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim

Next, add the following to the end of ~/.vimrc:

" [vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug)
" Specify a directory for plugins
" - Avoid using standard Vim directory names like 'plugin'
call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')

" Initialize plugin system
call plug#end()

Now let’s edit ~/.vimrc to install the NERDTree plugin:

" [vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug)
" Specify a directory for plugins
" - Avoid using standard Vim directory names like 'plugin'
call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')

Plug 'scrooose/nerdtree'

" Initialize plugin system
call plug#end()

Now start vim hit ESC and type :PlugInstall. That will install the NERDTree plugin. Hit q to exit the vim-plug pane.

Finally, add this line to ~/.vimrc to toggle NERDTree via <C-n>:

map <C-n> :NERDTreeToggle<CR>
