Installing pathogen for vim in Ubuntu

Copy and pasting from the link here: 

Slighty modified the url of github:

mkdir -p ~/.vim/autoload ~/.vim/bundle;

curl -Sso ~/.vim/autoload/pathogen.vim https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen/tree/master/autoload

If the above doesn’t work because you don’t have curl installed, that is easy to remedy

sudo apt-get install curl

If you are new to vim and do not have a .vimrc file, create one with vim:

vim ~/.vimrc

and paste the following lines in a minimal .vimrc file 

" Pathogen

execute pathogen#infect()

call pathogen#helptags() " generate helptags for everything in 'runtimepath'

syntax on

filetype plugin indent on
