• or copy it

cd ~/vimsetup/vimsetup
mkdir ~/.vim/autoload
cp plug.vim ~/.vim/autoload/

Copy vimrc file

cp vimrc ~/.vimrc

Run :PlugInstall inside VIM

• Edit ~/.vimrc

color desert
autocmd FileType yaml setlocal et ts=2 ai sw=2 nu sts=0

" Specify a directory for plugins
" - Avoid using standard Vim directory names like 'plugin'
call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')
" Make sure you use single quotes
Plug 'Yggdroot/indentLine'
" Initialize plugin system
call plug#end()

• After adding the above to the top of your Vim configuration file, reload it :source ~/.vimrc or restart Vim.

• Now run :PlugInstall to install the plugins.

• Update the .vimrc file with all the plugins from the vimrc file

cp ./vimrc ~/.vimrc

• Rerun :PlugInstall

Run :PlugUpdate to update the plugins. After the update is finished, you can review the changes by pressing D in the window. Or you can do it later by running :PlugDiff.

Updated plugins may have new bugs and no longer work correctly. With :PlugDiff command you can review the changes from the last :PlugUpdate and roll each plugin back to the previous state before the update by pressing X on each paragraph.

1. Delete or comment out Plug commands for the plugins you want to remove.
2. Reload vimrc (:source ~/.vimrc) or restart Vim
3. Run :PlugClean. It will detect and remove undeclared plugins.

Errors RHEL8 uses vi minimal which doesn't support plugins Either use vim and relink the /usr/bin/vi command mv /usr/bin/vi /usr/bin/vi.old ln -s /usr/bin/vim /usr/bin/vi
