Install vim-go in linux? - linux

Question

I would best be described as a dabbler at this point in linux/vim. I'm trying to get started with go. Trying to install the vim-go plugin and i'm having issues. Following the following post.
I added the following to the end of my ~/.bashrc file:
export GOPATH=~/gocode
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
and created the following directory ~/gocode
So i created my ~/.vim/bundle & ~/.vim/autoload directories. I downloaded pathogen.vim to the autoload directory. I cloned the github repository for vim-go into the bundle directory which created a vim-go directory.
I created my ~/.vimrc file and added the following:
call pathogen#infect()
syntax enable
filetype plugin on
set number
let g:go_disable_autoinstall = 0
I executed the following from the vim console (which worked after installing Hg):
:GoInstallBinaries
FYI, i don't use vundle and to be honest don't even know what it is :).
So far the plugin doesn't seem to be working. When i type :help vim-go i get the following error: E149: Sorry, no help for vim-go
What am i do

Answer 1

Using the manual install method (copying vim-go/ to ~/.vim) I was able to get it working but only once I had the following ~/.vimrc file, and of course the Go binaries installed as per the instructions.
set nocompatible
set shell=/bin/sh
syntax on
filetype plugin on
let g:go_disable_autoinstall = 0
This was done on an Ubuntu 14.04 desktop with no other vim plugins or prior ~/.vim directory or ~/.vimrc. Frankly the official install instructions and many of the tutorials out there assume to much to be useful on a fresh install of Ubuntu.
However "help vim-go" was still not working for me. Tried the following command from within the ~/.vim directory and got that working: Vim helptag generation

solution put that in you .vimrc :
set nocompatible
execute pathogen#infect()
syntax on
filetype on
filetype plugin on
filetype plugin indent on
go in your .zshrc ou .bashrc and put :
export GOPATH="$HOME/gocode/"
export PATH=$PATH:~/gocode/bin
and in terminal do :
source .zshrc
or
source .bashrc
and now go to
cd ~/.vim/bundle
and do if youuse pathogen :
git clone https://github.com/fatih/vim-go.git
in vim do :
:GoInstallBinaries
test one of this commands :
:GoFmt
:GoLint
