I installed the plugin using vim-plug. Then I invoked :ClangFormat to format my C code according to default style (google). The following error is thrown:

mmand:

I think you should install clang-format first, or at least confirm there is an executable file named 'clang-format' in your PATH environment variable.

I have the same error , and I am sure that clang-format is installed, and its version is 5.0

for now I'm calling clang-format externally using :! clang-format -i *.cpp and having it mapped to a keyboard shortcut...while it works, I would really like to have the in built clang format working

I've since moved to CCLS and Clangd using coc.nvim. closing the issue now.
