Refuses to install via Vim Plug – doesn't even seem to recognize the Plugin

Cheers!

I saw the theme on Reddit earlier and decided to try it out. I like it so far, but I can't get it to run in NVIM.
I've added Plug 'catppuccin/nvim' into my plugins file, but when I try to install, it just doesn't show up at all? No error, no nothing. (Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/mShA8zF.png)

I've seen the other issue (#63) about Vim Plug, and just to make sure I've tried to add the full git address plus a specified branch – Plug 'https://github.com/catppuccin/nvim.git', {'branch': 'main'} – but this also didn't yield any results.

(Un-)Installing other plugins works without any issues. Am I missing something? This might be a really stupid mistake, and I'm just blind..

Just for good measure:
I'm running on MacOS Catalina (10.15.7)
NVIM is up to date (v 0.6.0)
VimPlug also is up to date – updated via PlugUpgrade

I mean, this is like any other plugin, so you should jut be able to:

Plug 'catppuccin/nvim', { 'branch': 'main' }

Could you try using other package managers? (I personally recommend Packer) Based on other issues it seems like VimPlug is the problem here.

That's what I thought too and as it seems to work with other Plugins just fine, and further not even giving some sort of error either.. I got confused over this. But it completely refuses to even admit that this line exists in my config..

I'll try another manager later on when I'm back home and will get back to you with the results. c:

Okay.. update time. I've tried Packer (which for some reason doesn't work at all for me) and then tried Vundle. WIth Vundle I can install the Plugin without issues.

The only thing that doesn't work like I would imagine it to be intended is that I have to re-source the config twice. Once to actually load the plugin itself, and second time to have my custom config (transparent background) actually applied. But I'm certain that this is something I've messed up with Vundle itself, and isn't caused by this plugin itself.

It's still frustrating that it won't work with Vim-Plug..

Have you checked out #63?

[unseen-ninja]

I've seen it, but as I'm already running the latest version I don't think that is what is causing this issue, no?
Anyway.. I've been able to set up packer the right way now and everything works like a charm.

While this is just a workaround, and not a proper solution (I guess).. I've still closed the issue for now as I can't provide any Info that might be able to solve it either.

Thanks for your help tho!

No problem! it's still weird the fact that it fails to install with vim-plug tho...

I agree! It realy is weird, but without any infos it's really hard to debug. I was just hoping for this to be known or something? On top of that it seems to be inconsistent too as in #63 upgrading the VIM version allowed for the plugin to install without issues.
