Re: Plugin/addon managers

The end of the documentation contains a shell script.
You can copy paste that into your OSX shell and be done.

git --help (in terminal)should show help of git. If you get a failure
you have to install git.

You can ignore all other errors about svn,cvs,... which may show up.

About vimoutliner: There can be different reasons why it may not work.
VAM works around some minor issues which Pathogen does not (yet?) (eg
sourcing after/* files).

Give it a try - you'll like it. If vimoutliner does not work write again
and we'll find the issue and feed a patch upstream (to the maintainers
of vimoutliner).

Both Pathogen and VAM share the idea of installing each plugin into
their own directories - so that you can remove them easily.

So if vimoutliner doesn't work with such a setup it should be fixed
anyway.

OSX is based on a unix like kernel. Thus everything which matters to Vim
is similar to linux. If you want you you can take this use case to learn
about how to write your first git patch - which would "add osx
installation instructions" to VAM :)

All you have to do is edit the file and run something like

git diff > osx-install-instructions.patch in your file.
Then send me or ZyX that patch file. (There are more advanced features -
such as preparing patches with commit messages and send pull requests
etc. They don't matter much to you right now ..)
