The most crude and straightforward way of installing a plugin is just by dropping the <plugin>.vim file in your ~/.vim/plugin/ directory. You can do the same for the files that have to go into /ftplugin/, /syntax/, etc. Just follow the directory structure on the Github site for the right place on your computer. Be sure to download the raw version of the plugin code! On the website, click until you reach the file and see the code, click the [Raw] button, right-click and 'save page as...' in the directory mentioned above. The right name will be already given. Note that different files for different sub-folders can have the same name -- work in an organized manner! My experience is that this works all the time. Other possibility is using the description for installing a plugin with the use of Patogen, Vundle or Git -- just follow instructions, and all files will be placed in the right directories. When not (gitting them to the wrong directory) you can relocate the files by hand as mentioned above.
