+Thanks to existing plugin/_runtimepath_ managers for Vim, Nord Vim can be installed for all platforms and the various variants/forks of Vim in a uniform way within a few lines of codes. The recommended manager is [vim-plug][gh-junegunn/vim-plug], but any other manager like [pathogen][gh-tpope/vim-pathogen] or [Vundle][gh-vundlevim/vundle.vim] can also be used.

-
-```vim
-colorscheme nord
-```
-

-```
-

-
-### Italic Support
-
-**This option should only be enabled if your terminal emulator supports italics!**
-
-Can be enabled to support italic text.
-
-Most terminals don't handle italics right so Nord disables italics for terminals by default while in GUI mode this option is enabled by default.
-
-Set `g:nord_italic` to `1` to enforce displaying italics.
-
-```vim
-let g:nord_italic = 1
-```
-
-Italic formatting in Markdown
-
-### Underline Support
-
-**This option should only be enabled if your terminal emulator supports underlines!**
-
-Can be enabled to support underlined text.
-
-Most terminals are not capable to handle underlines right so Nord disables these for terminals by default while it should work out-of-the-box™ in GUI mode.
-
-Set `g:nord_underline` to `1` to enforce displaying underlines.
-
-```vim
-let g:nord_underline = 1
-```
-
-Underlined Text
-
-### Italic Comments

-
-![][scrot-config-italic-comments]
-
-### Uniform Status Lines
-
-Enables uniform activate- and inactive status lines using `nord3` as background.
-
-By default, Nord Vim uses a slightly brighter background for the current split buffer. This is designed to draw attention to the currently active buffer without being distracting.
-
-If the user desires the backgrounds to be a uniform color, `g:nord_uniform_status_lines` can be set to `1`:
-
-```vim
-let g:nord_uniform_status_lines = 1
-```
-
-Default status lines
Uniform status lines
-
-### Comment Contrast
-
-**This option should only be enabled if your terminal supports 24bit true color (16 million colors) and requires the `termguicolors` option to be set is in `~/.vimrc` or via `:set termguicolors`!**
-
-The comment brightness can be increased by 1 - 20 percent. It can be enabled by setting the `g:nord_comment_brightness`
-variable to a number between `1` and `20`.
-
-```vim
-let g:nord_comment_brightness = 12
-```
-
-Default and 15% increased
-
-Default and 12% increased
-
-To adhere to the Nord style guide this option uses `nord3` by default.
-
-This is a reference table if users like to use the same increased contrast values as provided by the [Nord Atom Syntax accessibility custom comment contrast theme setting][nord-atom-syntax-pr-47] which are calculated using the LESSCSS [`lighten`][lesscss-doc-fn-lighten] function.
