I installed NERDTree with Pathogen, then was not successful in installing snipMate plugin. This is my 3rd day now and I'm giving up on pathogen. I'm trying vundle. Questions:

  1. Do I have to uninstall pathogen? If yes, how? Step by step method please since I'm new to Mac(Osx 10.9) and coding.
  2. Do I have to delete .vim/autoload directory since it's part of pathogen?

  • As for 2. Do you have to No. Should you doesn't matter. If its empty it doesn't really need to be there. But it is not part of pathogen. It is a special directory used by vim to load functions when needed. – FDinoff Aug 13 '14 at 01:57

If you want to uninstall it,

  • delete ~/.vim/autoload/pathogen.vim,

  • delete the lines you have added to ~/.vimrc.

Also, see this guide I wrote about Pathogen.

  • Hahaha. Exactly what I'm thinking. Anyways, I was able to install snipMate and a bunch more plugins using `Vundle` and in the process of checking off your steps 1 & 2. Also working on step 3. But that's gonna take a while - thanks. – kofi Aug 13 '14 at 04:40

    Can we be a bit nicer here, @romainl? Btw, while you're being so pedantic you probably should have also been accurate regarding how to *remove* files (via `rm`) instead of via delete in a *nix shell... – Tim Erickson Sep 28 '16 at 20:59

    @TimErickson, 1. The OP can delete files in anyway he choses, 2, my answer made him/her laugh and solved is problem. – romainl Sep 29 '16 at 05:34
