## Quick start
## Quick Start
1. Set up [Vundle]:
1. Introduction:
```
$ git clone https://github.com/gmarik/vundle.git ~/.vim/bundle/vundle
```
Installation requires [Git] and triggers [`git clone`] for each configured repository to `~/.vim/bundle/` by default.
2. Configure bundles:
If you are using Windows, go directly to [Windows setup]. If you run into any issues, please consult the [FAQ].
Sample `.vimrc`:
2. Set up [Vundle]:
`$ git clone https://github.com/gmarik/vundle.git ~/.vim/bundle/vundle`
3. Configure Bundles:
Put this at the top of your `.vimrc` to use Vundle. Remove bundles you don't need, they are for illustration purposes.
```vim
set nocompatible " be iMproved
filetype off " required!
set nocompatible " be iMproved, required
filetype off " required
" set the runtime path to include Vundle and initialize
set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/vundle/
call vundle#rc()
" alternatively, pass a path where Vundle should install bundles
"let path = '~/some/path/here'
"call vundle#rc(path)
" let Vundle manage Vundle
" required!
" let Vundle manage Vundle, required
Bundle 'gmarik/vundle'
" My bundles here:

" Pass the path to set the runtimepath properly.
Bundle 'rstacruz/sparkup', {'rtp': 'vim/'}
