# first install vim-pathogen
sudo apt-get install vim-pathogen

# add this to ~/.vimrc: execute pathogen#infect()
# now packages can very easily be installed

Isn't it enough to call powerline once inside .bashrc? It's faster for me that way.

if [ -f `which powerline-daemon` ]; then 
  powerline-daemon -q
  POWERLINE_BASH_CONTINUATION=1
  POWERLINE_BASH_SELECT=1
  . ${bash_powerline_loc}
