If you use [Pathogen](https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen), do this:
- $ cd ~/.vim/bundle
- $ git clone https://github.com/plasticboy/vim-markdown.git

To install without Pathogen using the Debian [vim-addon-manager](http://packages.qa.debian.org/v/vim-addon-manager.html), do this:
- $ git clone https://github.com/plasticboy/vim-markdown.git
- $ cd vim-markdown

If you are not using any package manager, download the [tarball](https://github.com/plasticboy/vim-markdown/archive/master.tar.gz) and do this:
- $ cd ~/.vim
- $ tar --strip=1 -zxf vim-markdown-master.tar.gz
