Cannot add plugins in vimrc

Here is my vimrc

call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')

call plug#end()

I am getting this error ,

-bash: .vimrc: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `('
-bash: .vimrc: line 3: `call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')'

Couldn't figure why, any idea? Installed it from here https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug

Solution

  • Your vimrc is meant to be automatically sourced by Vim during startup and by nothing else. Sourcing it in your shell makes no sense whatsoever.
