I download file to home folder into downloads, and extract it there. But when i try to run command :helptags $HOME/.vim/doc
gvim shows error directory doesnt exist. Can someone tell me how to complete that installation succefully and where to extract those files from zip i downloaded from http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1520

Try this: - Make sure you have a .vim folder in your home directory(/home/yourname/.vim)
Extract the file in a directory.
Copy all the files from there into .vim directory, and overwrite if your file manager asks about folder names.
Do helptags.
Alternatively you can take a look at Pathogen, or check Ubuntu repositories for the plugin.

+1 for Pathogen. Once you have that set up, you can install most plugins by finding them on Github and just typing something like
git clone https://github.com/vim-scripts/OmniCppComplete.git

Vundle is an alternative to Pathogen. Both are awesome. Vundle makes working with those pesky github repositories even easier.– RyanOct 16, 2012 at 5:02
