根据 nerdtree 安装说明，我需要安装 Pathogen.vim 来安装 nerdtree。为了安装pathogen.vim，我遵循了pathogen install instructions，我这样做了：
~$ mkdir -p ~/.vim/autoload ~/.vim/bundle; \
> curl -so ~/.vim/autoload/pathogen.vim \
> <link to github>
这在这里创建了pathogen.vim：
~/.vim/autoload$ ls
pathogen.vim … … …
然后我按照病原体安装说明进行操作：
Add this to your vimrc:
call pathogen#infect()
==
~$ cat .vimrc
…
…
"For pathogen(a vim installer):
call pathogen#infect()
然后按照 nerdtree 安装说明进行操作：
pathogen.vim is the recommended way to install nerdtree.
cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone <link to github>
Then reload vim, run :helptags, and check out :help NERD_tree.txt.
我尝试像这样安装 nerdtree：
~/.vim/bundle$ git clone <link to github>
Cloning into 'nerdtree'...

其中产生：
~/.vim$ cd bundle
~/.vim/bundle$ ls
nerdtree
但我无法让 nerdtree 工作。当我尝试这个时：
~$ cd rails_projects/demo_app22/
~/rails_projects/demo_app22$ mvim .
~/rails_projects/demo_app22$
...然后这个：
:NERDtree
我得到错误：
E492: Not an editor command: NERDtree
当我尝试 :helptags 时，我得到了错误：
E472: Argument required
