As of version 8.0 Vim supports packages. Clone this repository inside ~/.vim/pack/all/start:

git clone https://github.com/LnL7/vim-nix.git ~/.vim/pack/all/start/vim-nix

The most common plugin managers include vim-plug, NeoBundle, Vundle and pathogen.vim.

With pathogen.vim, just clone this repository inside ~/.vim/bundle:

git clone https://github.com/LnL7/vim-nix.git ~/.vim/bundle/vim-nix

With the other plugin managers, just follow the instructions on the homepage of each plugin. In general, you have to add a line to your ~/.vimrc:

" vim-plug
Plug 'LnL7/vim-nix'
" NeoBundle
NeoBundle 'LnL7/vim-nix'
" Vundle
Plugin 'LnL7/vim-nix'
