snipMate does not work

Question

I followed the Pathogen way to install snipMate and I did include

:filetype plugin on

in .vimrc as the home page of snipMate plugin suggested.

Now when I type fr in a .tex file and press TAB nothing happens as expected.

I also tried this one but even that one did not work.

What am I missing? I am using vim 7.4 from 2013 Aug 10.

Then it's not properly installed (though I would have expected `No mapping found`). Check the output of `:scriptnames` for the snipMate files. — Ingo Karkat, Aug 25 '14 at 13:39

The problem was that I blindly installed Pathogen with curl, but the link on that page was outdated. The proper link is https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tpope/vim-pathogen/master/autoload/pathogen.vim. Also .vimrc should start with

execute pathogen#infect()

This solved the problem and now vim reacts to <TAB>.
