The most crude and straightforward way of installing a plugin is just by
dropping the <plugin>.vim file in your ~/.vim/plugin/ directory. You can
do the same for the files that have to go into /ftplugin/, /syntax/,
etc. Just follow the directory structure on the Github site for the
right place on your computer.

Be sure to download the raw version of the plugin code! On the website,
click until you reach the file and see the code, click the [Raw] button,
right-click and 'save page as...' in the directory mentioned above. The
right name will be already given. Note that different files for
different sub-folders can have the same name -- work in an organized
manner!

My experience is that this works all the time.

Other possibility is using the description for installing a plugin with
the use of Patogen, Vundle or Git -- just follow instructions, and all
files will be placed in the right directories. When not (gitting them to
the wrong directory) you can relocate the files by hand as mentioned
above.

A straightforward 'how-to' you can find here:

Good Luck!
