Unfortunately, on its main website page of
neovim
the
documentation
link(*) results in a 404 but, there is documentation on its website.
Apart from a global plugin (automatically loaded) there is the filetype plugin:
Adding a plugin -> FILETYPE PLUGINS
. Various options for those in UNIX-like systems are:
~/.local/share/nvim/site/ftplugin/<filetype>.vim
~/.local/share/nvim/site/ftplugin/<filetype>_<name>.vim
~/.local/share/nvim/site/ftplugin/<filetype>/<name>.vim
Located at
~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/<package-name>
are packages:
Adding a package
I think you want the automatically loaded global plugin
Adding a plugin -> USING A GLOBAL PLUGIN
facility:
First read the text in the plugin itself to check for any special conditions.
Then copy the file to your plugin directory:
system plugin directory
Unix ~/.local/share/nvim/site/plugin
[...]
Instead of putting plugins directly into the plugin/ directory, you may
better organize them by putting them into subdirectories under plugin/.
As an example, consider using "~/.local/share/nvim/site/plugin/perl/*.vim" for
all your Perl plugins.
I do not know if there is one command that shows all plugins, i.e. lists global plugins, filetype plugins and perhaps even packages; best option seems to inspect all relevant directories.
As mentioned in the release documentation of Neovim v0.5.0
here
, it seems there has been a substantial growth in plugins/packages for neovim. Several plugin/package managers exist; this may also help:
How to set up Neovim 0.5 + Modern plugins (LSP, Treesitter, Fuzzy finder, etc)
(*) Edit: the documentation link should probably be:
https://neovim.io/doc/general/
~/.local/share/nvim/site/autoload/plug.vim
~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/plugins/start/plug.vim
~/.local/share/nvim/site/plugin/plug.vim
I tested it with running nvim and calling
Both yielding an error message that these are not valid editor commands.
It's really frustrating!
Any help?
:source ~/.config/nvim/init.vim
take into account which configuration file you use for your nvim installation and then try :PlugInstall
However, if plug.vim is put at the right place it should get autoloaded when nvim is started.
For plug.vim to work you need three things:
plug.vim in a place where it will be autoloaded, for example ~/.local/share/nvim/site/autoload/plug.vim
in your configuration file, for example: ~/.config/nvim/init.vim, you need some code that will install plugins in a certain directory, like ~/.local/share/nvim/plugged/
specify the plugins you want to install inside the code mentioned at #2
With a clean install of nvim, I followed the instructions for the steps #1-3 as mentioned in the vim-plug Tutorial. You could make some changes to the directories named there but, try those mentioned there first. Following the instructions of the tutorial :PlugInstall, :PlugStatus and :PlugUpdate are all functional.

Thank you! It finally worked: It did not suffice to put plug.vim into the appropriate directory, there has to be the basic plugin initialization code in init.vim (as you point out in step 2.) Otherwise nvim will not load the plugin altogether (some sort of lazy evaluation?) and :PlugStatus et al. won't work.
