I'm new to Vim. When I run it from the terminal I get this error:
Error detected while processing /home/Rob/.vimrc:
line 28:
E492: Not an editor command: Plugin 'vim-pandoc/vim-rmarkdown'It still seems to run, but I'm not really doing much with it, so I'm sure I'm just not running into the error yet. What should I fix and how should I solve it?

Looks like the offending line is the last line in the file (line 28):
Plugin 'vim-pandoc/vim-rmarkdown'
I presume you used one of the vim plugin managers to get the plugin installed, and the plugin files are installed where they should be. If not, how did you install it? More importantly, the error message says python required. Do you have Python installed? Try:
apt search --names-only python
Which will show you packages that contain the word "python" in the package name (--names-only), and filter out those that say "installed" only (| grep installed). For example, if I do that on my computer, the output includes:
python2/eoan,now 2.7.17-1 amd64 [installed,automatic]
python3/eoan,now 3.7.5-1 amd64 [installed,automatic]Usually Python comes pre-installed in most Ubuntu installations, so it's good to verify that it is. No need to copy the output here, but check that python 2 and/or python 3 are installed as on mine.
