I asked on the issues log how to install on vim8, which has replaced the old package managers with the new pack one. Thanks for the reply, using this I understood that the rope, ropemode, and ropevim python modules are just regular python modules which install to the pythonpath with pip3; then only the .vim file needs to be stored in .vim/ and sourced. I hope this is useful for beginning vim users who don't know the package managers and/or vim8 people who have moved to pack.
