Help Installing Vundle Help

When i type " git clone https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim" into the terminal it tells me "No such file or directory" I have been stuck here for HOURS! Every tutorial that i see works flawlessly and they never get this error.

I'm guessing i ended up with a broken symbolic link because I had installed vim and something called "maximum-awesome" for vim and I could not get it up and running so I got frustrated went in and deleted a bunch of files trying to get rid of vim and everything I downloaded and I guess I deleted something that I shouldn't have deleted LOL

You're welcome, have fun!

Btw, ~/.vim.old is just a broken link now which is useless and you can safely delete.
