I get the following error when I try to use any command like :Vifm

Error detected while processing function <SNR>28_StartVifm[109]..<SNR>28_HandleRunResults: line 2: Got non-zero code from vifm: 127

I placed the vim folder in ~/.vim/plugin

127 usually means "command not found". Have you installed Vifm itself?

azizn03 commented 3 years ago

I do indeed. This line is in my .vimrc file

Plug 'vifm/vifm.vim'

That's just the Vim plugin (this repo). You need to install the app itself (https://github.com/vifm/vifm) separately.

ah I was under the impression the vim plugin was standalone.
