-h1. Installation  
+# Installation  
+The NERD Commenter requires Vim 7 or higher. 
 
+Extract the plugin files in your ~/.vim (*nix) or ~/vimfiles (Windows). You 
+should have 2 files:

+    doc/NERD_commenter.txt

+Next, to finish installing the help file run: 
+    :helptags ~/.vim/doc 
+
+See |add-local-help| for more details. 
+
+Make sure that you have filetype plugins enabled, as the script makes use of 
+|'commentstring'| where possible (which is usually set in a filetype plugin).
