Currently, the documentation states:
Then reload vim, run
:helptags
, and check out:help NERD_tree.txt
.It turns out that
:helptags
is not a valid Vim command. I got the errorThis experience is also described in this StackOverflow post - Vim - helptags not working for NERDtree.
I propose to change the README to say
Then reload vim, run
:helptags ~/.vim/bundle/nerdtree/doc/
, and check out:help NERD_tree.txt
.This is the valid command that needs to be executed. This will help people install NERDTree, and avoid the installation frustration that I and many others experienced.
