Installation issues with vundle and native-vim 8 installer

[ttxtea]

Is there a way to copy the files into .vim by hand instead of using one of the installer?

I dont get the installers installed, which is not a problem of vim-pandoc. But it would be cool to have a command to just copy the git repo into vim and have it working.

E492: Not an editor command: Plugin 'vim-pandoc/vim-pandoc'
line    2:
E492: Not an editor command: Plugin 'vim-pandoc/vim-pandoc-syntax'
Error detected while processing function vundle#config#bundle[2]..<SNR>18_check_bundle_name:

I think it would be

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/vim-pandoc/vim-pandoc ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start/vim-pandoc
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/vim-pandoc/vim-pandoc-syntax ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start/vim-pandoc-syntax

for vim>8 ?

Should this be added to the install instructions?

Isn't this just what you'd do for any plugin if you wanted to manually copy it into somewhere? I can think of several reasons to generally recommend using a plugin manager, but for people that want to copy in somewhere themselves there is nothing to stop them, but I don't see why we should be the ones to document that.
