There's Vundle and Pathogen.
- johnchristopher 8y agoNo vundle for this one. Out of curiosity I checked out if Vundle would give me YouCompleteMe but... vundle installation of YouCompleteMe just failed with `The ycmd server SHUT DOWN (restart with ':YcmRestartServer').YCM core library not detected; you need to compile YCM before using it. Follow the instructions in the documentation.`. I love Vim but I have stopped trying to build a cathedral for it.
- csomar 8y agoI thought vundle can install any plugin if it is hosted on Github?
- enitihas 8y agoVundle does install YCM, but you need to execute some more steps (compile the ycmd server), which vundle doesn't do, and YCM doesn't work without the daemon compiled.
- johnchristopher 8y agoVundle is really neat and so is vim. But some plugins requires external binaries or services to function and that's when a vim packager stops being helpful and you have to take extra steps. Sometimes it's just an apt-get install something or curling a bin to ~/.bin but sometimes it needs more tweaking and fiddling. In my opinion that makes your vim installation more fragile and less portable. Maybe we'll soon run vim in docker.
- pw6hv 8y agoExcuse me but the error you are getting makes it clear that you have to compile YCM before using it.
