Can't install vim-plug

Question

Following the instructions, I put plug.vim in autoload folder and my vimrc looks like this now:

set nocompatible
source $VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim
source $VIMRUNTIME/mswin.vim
behave mswin

call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')
call plug#end()

set diffexpr=MyDiff()
function MyDiff()
  let opt = '-a --binary '
  if &diffopt =~ 'icase' | let opt = opt . '-i ' | endif
  if &diffopt =~ 'iwhite' | let opt = opt . '-b ' | endif
  let arg1 = v:fname_in
  if arg1 =~ ' ' | let arg1 = '"' . arg1 . '"' | endif
  let arg2 = v:fname_new
  if arg2 =~ ' ' | let arg2 = '"' . arg2 . '"' | endif
  let arg3 = v:fname_out
  if arg3 =~ ' ' | let arg3 = '"' . arg3 . '"' | endif
  let eq = ''
  if $VIMRUNTIME =~ ' '
    if &sh =~ '\<cmd'
      let cmd = '""' . $VIMRUNTIME . '\diff"'
      let eq = '"'
    else
      let cmd = substitute($VIMRUNTIME, ' ', '" ', '') . '\diff"'
    endif
  else
    let cmd = $VIMRUNTIME . '\diff'
  endif
  silent execute '!' . cmd . ' ' . opt . arg1 . ' ' . arg2 . ' > ' . arg3 . eq
endfunction

So I added only

call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')
call plug#end()

On VIM start up I get

[vim-plug] `git` executable not found. vim-plug requires git.

Using windows 7, please help.

Answer 1

Reinstalled GIT using Run git from Windows command prompt option

https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim/wiki/Vundle-for-Windows

This sets appropriate PATH variable.

Answer 2

I ran into a similar error on Linux, and solved by just installing git.

sudo apt update

sudo apt install git
