Hi!

I cloned the vim.plug file into ~/.vim/autoload/plugin.vim but I still keep getting things like:

line 24:
E492: Not an editor command: Plug 'tpope/vim-fugitive' " git manager
line 25:
E492: Not an editor command: Plug 'sirver/ultisnips' " snippet manager
line 26:
E492: Not an editor command: Plug 'sheerun/vim-polyglot' " language package

I though this meant I just need to run :PlugInstall in vim, but when I do that vim says:

E492: Not an editor command: PlugInstall.

This all happens when I'm cloning my dotfiles into a remote server. However when I try cloning on my local computer everything works fine.

Why isn't vim-plug being read by vim in the remote server?
