### Install Vim plugin

Install this plugin with your favorite Vim packaging system:

- Pathogen
- Vim-Plug
- Vundle

#### Install as a Vim package

This option requires Vim 8.0 or newer.

1. Download the quick-lint-js Vim plugin.
2. Add `packloadall` to your `%USERPROFILE%\_vimrc` file (or `%USERPROFILE%\vimfiles\vimrc`) if not already present.
3. Create the directory `%USERPROFILE%\vimfiles\pack\external\start\`.
4. Copy the extracted `quick-lint-js.vim` directory into the `%USERPROFILE%\vimfiles\pack\external\start\` directory.
5. Restart Vim.

#### Install with Pathogen

This option requires Pathogen.

#### Install with Vim-Plug

This option requires Vim-Plug.

1. Add the following line to your `vimrc` file between `call plug#begin(...)` and `call plug#end()`:

   >     Plugin 'quick-lint/quick-lint-js', {'rtp': 'plugin/vim/quick-lint-js.vim'}

2. Restart Vim.
3. In Vim, run `:PluginInstall`.

### Configure

Configure the Vim plugin by opening Vim and running `:help quick-lint-js`, or read the Vim plugin docs online.
