How can I install vim-latex on mac os x?

Question

My Vim comes with the OS X system and is located at /usr/share/vim/vim73
According to the instruction, I created a folder as ~/.vim and unzip the source file into directory ~/.vim
Then I create a file .vimrc at ~/ with the following content:

REQUIRED. This makes vim invoke LaTeX-Suite when you open a TeX file.
```
filetype plugin on
```
IMPORTANT: Win32 users will need to have shellslash set so that LaTeX can be called correctly.
```
set shellslash
```
IMPORTANT: grep will sometimes skip displaying the file name if you search in a single file. This will confuse LaTeX-Suite. Set your grep program to always generate a file-name.
```
set grepprg=grep\ -nH\ $*
```
OPTIONAL: This enables automatic indentation as you type.
```
filetype indent on
```
OPTIONAL: Starting with Vim 7, the filetype of empty .tex files defaults to plaintex instead of tex, which results in vim-latex not being loaded. The following changes the default filetype back to tex:
```
let g:tex_flavor='latex'
```
I also cd into ~/.vim/ftplugin/ to create a file tex.vim with the following content: this is mostly a matter of taste. but LaTeX looks good with just a bit of indentation.
```
set sw=2
```
TIP: if you write your \label's as \label{fig:something}, then if you type in \ref{fig: and press C-n you will automatically cycle through all the figure labels. Very useful!
```
set iskeyword+=:
```
In the command line I start vim and type:
```
:helptags ~/.vim/doc
```

Nothing really happens. And I simply don't know how to continue.

Could you please tell me what should I do next to make it works?

Did you check this question ? Could you be more specific about how you tested that nothing happened ? For instance if you open a file foo.tex and press , nothing special happens ? You could first check that the ~/.vimrc you created is indeed that used by vim typing :version and checking that the file mentioned is indeed the one you created — Vincent Nivoliers, Jun 03 '14 at 15:29
I suggest to check the required folder structure for the plugins to be read... also, you sould check the link recommended by @VincentNivoliers — JPCF, Jul 17 '16 at 20:56
