what is the solution

[benrifkah]

I had a similar issue on CentOs. It was because I had the vim-minimal package installed which only came with a "vi" executable¹. The solution for me was to install the vim-enhanced package instead. If you don't have root on your system you can instead install vim from source for just yourself in your home directory or some other directory that you can write to.

¹ When Vim see's that the executable is called "vi" it doesn't support a number of enhanced features including plugins.
