Answer 1

E492 is for path issue where git cloned the vundle files in wrong place. I guess you have to provide with absolute path. Vundle plugins have a lots of other issues that vim doesn't process. The best is to write your own configuration settings as you learn and apply them.

Answer 2

Did you perhaps miss the step where you install Vundle?

This command installs Vundle to .vim/bundle in your home directory:

$ git clone https://github.com/gmarik/Vundle.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim

Line 5 in your .vimrc, set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim, tells VIM where to look for Vundle, after which line 8, call vundle#begin(), should run without problems.

Note that you also have a syntax error in line 4, as @Cosmic's answer mentions.

Answer 3

Line 4 of your file has to be a COMMENT. So let it start with an "

Instead of

 set the runtime path to include Vundle and initialize

it has to be

"  set the runtime path to include Vundle and initialize

Answer 4

Since you have an OSX try to follow this steps

Remove the vim you installed with homebrew (do not worry, we will install later)

$ brew remove vim
$ brew cleanup

Install vim with this homebrew command

$ brew install macvim --with-override-system-vim

check your git version to see if it is already installed

$ git version

install vundle

$ git clone https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim

open vim

$ vim

try

:PluginInstall

Answer 5

Something may be wrong with your plugin manager Vundle :PluginInstall or vim-plug :PlugInstall, the next picture is for vim-plug:

You could try to install vim-plug by doing this:

curl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim

And later modify your .vimrc:

call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')
