   Install a Vue.js plugin. If the plugin is an Object, it must expose an `install` method. If it is a function itself, it will be treated as the install method. The install method will be called with Vue as the argument.

+  This method has to be called before calling `new Vue()`
 
   When this method is called on the same plugin multiple times, the plugin will be installed only once.

+## Using a Plugin
+
+Use plugins by calling the `Vue.use()` global method. This has to be done before you start your app by calling `new Vue()`:
+
+``` js
+// calls `MyPlugin.install(Vue)`
+Vue.use(MyPlugin)
+
+new Vue({
+  //... options
+})
+```
+
+You can optionally pass in some options:
+
+``` js
+Vue.use(MyPlugin, { someOption: true })
+```
+
+`Vue.use` automatically prevents you from using the same plugin more than once, so calling it multiple times on the same plugin will install the plugin only once.
+
+Some plugins provided by Vue.js official plugins such as `vue-router` automatically calls `Vue.use()` if `Vue` is available as a global variable. However in a module environment such as CommonJS, you always need to call `Vue.use()` explicitly:
+
+``` js
+// When using CommonJS via Browserify or Webpack
+var Vue = require('vue')
+var VueRouter = require('vue-router')
+
+// Don't forget to call this
+Vue.use(VueRouter)
+```
