Vundle installation fail?

Question

I'm trying to install Vundle following the instruction from here , but when I use the command, vim +PluginInstall +qall terminal shows this:

Error detected while processing /home/scorpion/.vimrc:
line    6:
E117: Unknown function: vundle#begin
line   11:
E492: Not an editor command: Plugin 'VundleVim/Vundle.vim'
line   16:
E492: Not an editor command: Plugin 'tpope/vim-fugitive'
line   18:
E492: Not an editor command: Plugin 'L9'
line   20:
E492: Not an editor command: Plugin 'git://git.wincent.com/command-t.git'
line   22:
E492: Not an editor command: Plugin 'file:///home/gmarik/path/to/plugin'
line   25:
E492: Not an editor command: Plugin 'rstacruz/sparkup', {'rtp': 'vim/'}
line   28:
E492: Not an editor command: Plugin 'ascenator/L9', {'name': 'newL9'}
line   31:
E117: Unknown function: vundle#end
Press ENTER or type command to continue

I'm new at this . What is the possible problem here ? How could I solve them?
How could I be ensure that my Vundle is installed properly ?

content of .vimrc is

set nocompatible              " be iMproved, required
filetype off                  " required

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

" let Vundle manage Vundle, required
Plugin 'VundleVim/Vundle.vim'

" The following are examples of different formats supported.
" Keep Plugin commands between vundle#begin/end.
" plugin on GitHub repo
Plugin 'tpope/vim-fugitive'
" plugin from http://vim-scripts.org/vim/scripts.html
Plugin 'L9'
" Git plugin not hosted on GitHub
Plugin 'git://git.wincent.com/command-t.git'
" git repos on your local machine (i.e. when working on your own plugin)
" Plugin 'file:///home/gmarik/path/to/plugin'
" The sparkup vim script is in a subdirectory of this repo called vim.
" Pass the path to set the runtimepath properly.
Plugin 'rstacruz/sparkup', {'rtp': 'vim/'}
" Install L9 and avoid a Naming conflict if you've already installed a
" different version somewhere else.
Plugin 'ascenator/L9', {'name': 'newL9'}

" All of your Plugins must be added before the following line
call vundle#end()            " required
filetype plugin indent on    " required
" To ignore plugin indent changes, instead use:
"filetype plugin on
"
" Brief help
" :PluginList       - lists configured plugins
" :PluginInstall    - installs plugins; append `!` to update or just :PluginUpdate
" :PluginSearch foo - searches for foo; append `!` to refresh local cache
" :PluginClean      - confirms removal of unused plugins; append `!` to auto-approve removal "
" see :h vundle for more details or wiki for FAQ
" Put your non-Plugin stuff after this line

[Edit] your question to add the content of the screenshot, DONT post pictures of just text. — M. Becerra, Mar 17 '17 at 20:40
Please go through the installation steps again may be you missed something... — George Udosen, Mar 17 '17 at 20:42
@M.Becerra , The link I include contains all the contents , thats why I do not include them. When I use 'git clone' command, it did not give any error or warning. if you still think that I had to include that screen shot too, let me know. I also check that git and Curl are installed . — Anklon, Mar 17 '17 at 20:49
The link you include does not contain the error messages you get in the terminal, which is the text that should be copy/pasted :) — M. Becerra, Mar 17 '17 at 20:51
@George , I go through the process couple of times. Even I removed vim, auto clean and start from the scratch. I dont know what I'm missing. — Anklon, Mar 17 '17 at 20:52
@M.Becerra , may be I did not get it. I think the screen shot i provide is all the error message. Is there any other way to get more info about the error. I'm a new bee at using Ubuntu. — Anklon, Mar 17 '17 at 20:54
Yes, there is, copy the output you get from running `vim +PluginInstall +qall` and paste it to replace the screenshot. The site will automatically search for related questions/answers, which could help you, using such text :) — M. Becerra, Mar 17 '17 at 20:56
I did that too. It says ' E492: Not an editor command: PluginInstall ' . — Anklon, Mar 17 '17 at 21:02
Now remove all between `call vundle#begin()`, and `call vundle#end()`. Hence remove all plugins and try again... — George Udosen, Mar 17 '17 at 21:06
removing those lines stops the errors. But how could I know that Vundle will work properly and have no trouble for removing those lines. — Anklon, Mar 17 '17 at 21:18
Please remove the `plugins` you have there and source `.vimrc` — George Udosen, Mar 17 '17 at 21:18
Ok, add each plugin one after the other and note which one gives an erro after addition — George Udosen, Mar 17 '17 at 21:19
Do you have this `Plugin 'file:///home/gmarik/path/to/plugin'`, are you __gmark__ and have you such a path? — George Udosen, Mar 17 '17 at 21:20

From my interaction the ~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim was not yet set up. So these are the steps to setup VundleVim.

Create /home/$USER/.vim/bundle
```
mkdir -p /home/$USER/.vim/bundle
```

Clone the git repository into bundle directory:

git clone https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim

Now create a .vimrc file if not there:
```
touch /home/$USER/.vimrc
```

Add these lines to it:

" no vi compat
set nocompatible

" filetype func off
filetype off

" initialize vundle
set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim

call vundle#begin()
" start- all plugins below

Plugin 'VundleVim/Vundle.vim'
Plugin 'mattn/emmet-vim'        
Plugin 'morhetz/gruvbox'
Plugin 'itchyny/lightline.vim'
Plugin 'scrooloose/nerdtree.git'
Plugin 'davidhalter/jedi-vim'
Plugin 'pangloss/vim-javascript'
Plugin 'groenewege/vim-less'
Plugin 'taglist.vim'
Plugin 'elzr/vim-json'
Plugin 'airblade/vim-gitgutter' " http://vimawesome.com/plugin/vim-gutter
Plugin 'wincent/command-t'      " fast buffer browser

" stop - all plugins above
call vundle#end()


" filetype func on
filetype plugin indent on

Now run vim +PluginInstall +qall from the terminal or from within vim, :PluginInstall

Note: These are the basic configuration to get VundleVim working and I have added my own plugins you will need to add yours. Get more plgins from here.
