This page is linked from the github repo. The install instructions are meant for users who want to use the github repo. The repo is for people who want to use the version I use.

The (rarely updated) vimball is on vim.org[1]. Install instructions in the help file are the same I use for vim.org.

I personally install vim plugins from their source code repo if one is available.

The "problem" here is that the vim ecosystem has significantly changed during the past years with the advent of, e.g., github and plugin managers that know how to deal with git repos and the like. Unfortunately, VIM doesn't have such a full-fledged plugin manager built-in what causes this confusion. (There is GLVS but that's from a different era when plugins were still distributed as zip files.)

Anyway, I admit this could be confusing. I'll revise my install instructions. Thanks for your feedback.

@all:
Does somebody know a comprehensive vim plugin installation guide that covers vimballs, zip files, addon managers etc.?
