Did you install vim-plug by putting in your autoload/ directory?

https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug#windows-powershell-1

call plug#begin('~/AppData/local/nvim/autoload')

You should never put vim-plug plugins in an autoload/ directory. vim-plug should have caught that. It catches only plugin.

I face the same issue on gVim in Windows. I put plug in autoload/ and in plugin . neither worked

[junegunn]

A common mistake people make on GVim is to put the configuration code in gvimrc instead of in vimrc.

I just had to move my init.vim file to AppData/Local/nvim/init.vim

No comment from @RaCs5 and others have mentioned workarounds for this recurring issue so I'm closing this.

I have the same problem, vim catch the file "plug.vim", but it also show the problem "Not an editor command :PlugInstall"

[ericmelvin]

I had this issue because I had .vimrc open in a separate tab. I tried using the 'e' command to reload it. I tried closing out of the tab and opening it again. I needed to close all tabs and reopen .vimrc for this to install.

I had this issue because I used the Neovim "Windows (PowerShell)" install from https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug#windows-powershell-1 instead of the Vim one. Running the right install solved it.

I'm having the same issue on Linux with the automatic installation commands. It downloads the file fine, but then that command fails. Maybe that's a NeoVim command? I'm using plain vim.

This worked.

I just had to move my init.vim file to AppData/Local/nvim/init.vim

This worked for me thanks. Since this worked for multple people, maybe the installaton guide should be updated?
