## 1\. Introduction
Syntastic is a syntax checking plugin for Vim that runs files through external
syntax checkers and displays any resulting errors to the user. This can be done
on demand, or automatically as files are saved. If syntax errors are detected,
the user is notified and is happy because they didn't have to compile their
code or execute their script to find them.

## 2\. Installation
Installing syntastic is easy but first you need to have the [pathogen][1]
plugin installed. If you already have [pathogen][1] working then skip
[Step 1](#step1) and go to [Step 2](#step2).

### 2.1\. Requirements
Syntastic itself has rather relaxed requirements: it doesn't have any external
dependencies, and it needs a version of [Vim][13] compiled with a few common
features: `autocmd`, `eval`, `file_in_path`, `modify_fname`, `quickfix`,
`reltime`, and `user_commands`. Not all possible combinations of features that
include the ones above make equal sense on all operating systems, but [Vim][13]
version 7 or later with the "normal", "big", or "huge" feature sets should be
fine.
Syntastic can also be used with all modern plugin managers, such as
[NeoBundle][14], [Pathogen][1], [Vim-Addon-Manager][15], [Vim-Plug][16], or
[Vundle][17]. Instructions for installing syntastic with [Pathogen][1] are
included below for completeness.
Last but not least: syntastic doesn't know how to do any syntax checks by
itself. You need to install external checkers corresponding to the types of
files you want to check. Please consult the [wiki][3] for a list of supported
checkers.
