I am following the Vundle install instructions from https://github.com/gmarik/vundle but I run into trouble at step #3 (issuing the command :BundleInstall from within VIM). I get an error, E492: Not an editor command: BundleInstall

I am running Ubuntu 13.10 (64 bit) and have the following VIM related packages installed:

dpkg --get-selections | grep vim
vim                         install
vim-addon-manager           install
vim-common                  install
vim-doc                     install
vim-runtime                 install
vim-scripts                 install
vim-tiny                    install

They are all default versions from the Ubuntu Saucy repos.

I have the output of my vim :version,$tree ~/.vim, and echo $PATH here: http://pastebin.com/pLB1trsG

Attributes of my .vimrc file:

$ ls -la | grep .vimrc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root   root   1027 Dec 24 15:28 .vimrc

Contents of my .vimrc file: http://pastebin.com/RKYzBZZG

If you can think of anything else that might be helpful in diagnosing the problem, please let me know.

    Are you logged in as root? If you are not are you using sudo to run vim? – FDinoff Dec 25 '13 at 01:08
  • I was not logged in as root; however, using sudo vim produces the same error when issuing the :BundleInstall command. – CitizenKane Dec 25 '13 at 02:15
  • The reason I asked was that the vimrc file was owned by root. Which means things are might be mis configured. Using `sudo vim` uses roots vimrc and .vim which you don't want. How come the vimrc belongs to root? – FDinoff Dec 25 '13 at 02:20
  • That was actually my first guess as to the problem. I tried setting the owner as thomas but it didn't make a difference. – CitizenKane Dec 25 '13 at 02:28

I think you should not have vunlde installed correctly. 

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