## Features
- **Fast** - Faster than NeoBundle.
- **Simple** - Function API and familiar patterns, without commands or
dependency hell.
- **Async** - Clean asynchronous installation supported.
- **Extendable** - Supports plugins from local or remote sources, and also
Non-Github plugins.
- **Consistent** - Go-like directory structure (eg.
github.com/{_author_}/{_repository_})
- **Practical** - Automatically merge plugins directories to avoid long
**runtimepath**
## Getting started
### Prerequisites
- **Vim** (v8.2 or higher) or **NeoVim** (v0.8.0 or higher)
- **Git** should be installed (v2.4.11 or higher)
### Basic installation
You can install dein.vim by your vimrc/init.vim.
```vim
let $CACHE = expand('~/.cache')
if !($CACHE->isdirectory())
call mkdir($CACHE, 'p')
endif
if &runtimepath !~# '/dein.vim'
let s:dir = 'dein.vim'->fnamemodify(':p')
if !(s:dir->isdirectory())
let s:dir = $CACHE .. '/dein/repos/github.com/Shougo/dein.vim'
if !(s:dir->isdirectory())
execute '!git clone https://github.com/Shougo/dein.vim' s:dir
endif
endif
execute 'set runtimepath^='
\ .. s:dir->fnamemodify(':p')->substitute('[/\\]$', '', '')
endif
```
### Command line installation
Please use [dein-installer.vim](https://github.com/Shougo/dein-installer.vim).
### Config example
Show a UNIX installation example using "~/.cache/dein" as
the base path location.
```vim
" Ward off unexpected things that your distro might have made, as
" well as sanely reset options when re-sourcing .vimrc
set nocompatible
" Set dein base path (required)
let s:dein_base = '~/.cache/dein/'
" Set dein source path (required)
let s:dein_src = '~/.cache/dein/repos/github.com/Shougo/dein.vim'
" Set dein runtime path (required)
execute 'set runtimepath+=' .. s:dein_src
" Call dein initialization (required)
call dein#begin(s:dein_base)
call dein#add(s:dein_src)
" Your plugins go here:
"call dein#add('Shougo/neosnippet.vim')
"call dein#add('Shougo/neosnippet-snippets')
" Finish dein initialization (required)
call dein#end()
" Attempt to determine the type of a file based on its name and possibly its
" contents. Use this to allow intelligent auto-indenting for each filetype,
" and for plugins that are filetype specific.
filetype indent plugin on
" Enable syntax highlighting
if has('syntax')
syntax on
endif
" Uncomment if you want to install not-installed plugins on startup.
"if dein#check_install()
" call dein#install()
"endif
```
## Q&A
#### Dein has an user interface like vim-plug?
- Built-in Dein **does not** have one, but if you want one, we recommend using
[github.com/wsdjeg/dein-ui.vim](https://github.com/wsdjeg/dein-ui.vim)
## Feedback
- [Chat with the community](https://gitter.im/Shougo/dein.vim)
- [Create an issue](https://github.com/Shougo/dein.vim/issues)
## Tasks
This is where Dein future plans or TODOS are listed:
- Other types support (zip, svn, hg, ...)
- Metadata repository support
- Require neovim 0.10+ or Vim 9.0+(to use interpolated-string)
