# 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: 
    plugin/NERD_commenter.vim 
    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). 
See |filetype-plugin-on| for details, but basically, stick this in your vimrc 
    filetype plugin on
