 To install this plugin, you should use one of the following methods.
 For Windows users, replace usage of the Unix `~/.vim` directory with
-`%USERPROFILE%\_vim`, or another directory if you have configured
+`%USERPROFILE%\vimfiles`, or another directory if you have configured

+any other tools. Simply clone the plugin into your `pack` directory.
+
+### Vim 8 on Unix
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/git-plugins/start
+git clone https://github.com/w0rp/ale.git ~/.vim/pack/git-plugins/start/ale
+```
+
+### NeoVim on Unix
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p ~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/git-plugins/start
+git clone https://github.com/w0rp/ale.git ~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/git-plugins/start/ale
+```
+
+### Vim 8 on Windows
+
+```bash
+# Run these commands in the "Git for Windows" Bash terminal
+mkdir -p ~/vimfiles/pack/git-plugins/start
+git clone https://github.com/w0rp/ale.git ~/vimfiles/pack/git-plugins/start/ale
+```
+
+### Generating documentation
+
+You can add the following line to your vimrc files to generate documentation
+tags automatically, if you don't have something similar already, so you can use
+the `:help` command to consult ALE's online documentation:
+
+```vim
+silent! helptags ALL
