I'm a noob. Can someone please explain how to install this thing?

  The way you would install any Vim plugin. Extract these files inside your ~/.vim directory such that. copy vim-poweline/autoload/* to ~/.vim/autoload/* copy vim-poweline/doc/* to ~/.vim/doc/* copy vim-poweline/plugin/* to ~/.vim/plugin/* and so on. PS. Learn Pathogen or Vundle. It will be very well invested time.

    I just learnt Vundle. It took all of a minute to read the three lines of documentation, and now all my vim instances will always be in sync.

    If you don't want to install pathogen or vundle here is another simple way: ~/.vim $ git clone https://github.com/Lokaltog/vim-powerline.git powerline Edit your ~/.vimrc and add set runtimepath=~/.vim/powerline,$VIMRUNTIME

      Since some plugins write temporary files to the first directory in runtimepath, this could have unintended consequences though.
