This is the error that everyone do. I also asked about how to install plugins since it is not clear and all plugin developers are sure we (=newbies) already know that the folder structure inside a plugin folder is "just a placeholder" (of the folder structure one have to create in side .vim) to let the user identify which file goes in which folder inside .vim More, it will be a little bit confusing when a folder is not already created into the .vim one since once don't know what it is expected he has to do (now I know that if a folder is not already in the .vim one have to create it) Sometimes things are more simple then they seem but too simpler is too much. :) It could be great if someone could write it into the Vim manual itself, it could be easier to understand how to install plugins (end color schemes, languages, and so on).
