I am trying to install Vundle on my Macvim. I followed the following link to get Vundle. I also configured my .vimrc file. But when I try PluginInstall, I get the following error.

E492: Not an editor command: PluginInstall

My .vimrc contains the following:

  1 set nocompatible    "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5845557/in-a-vimrc-is-set-nocc
    ompatible-completely-useless
  2

  4 filetype off                  " required

  6 " set the runtime path to include Vundle and initialize
  7 set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
  8 call vundle#begin()
  9 " alternatively, pass a path where Vundle should install plugins
 10 "call vundle#begin('~/some/path/here')

 12 " let Vundle manage Vundle, required
 13 Plugin 'gmarik/Vundle.vim'
 14
 15 " All of your Plugins must be added before the following line
 16 call vundle#end()            " required
 17 filetype plugin indent on    " required

My vim directory:

Username-MacBook-Pro:bundle u1$ pwd
/Users/u1/.vim/bundle
Username-MacBook-Pro:bundle u1$ ls
Vundle.vim

I also checked this stackoverflow post. But it didn't solve my problem. Why does it throw such an error and how can I find what exactly is my issue.

I had to install Vundle into Plugin directory instead of Bundle. It solved the issue.

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