I'm no vim pro, but I'll try my best to help you out. If I answer something wrong, somebody please correct me.

For the first part, I think you didn't run "./update.sh" in the eddie-vim directory. It's in the Readme.
As for the background and text color, you can look up colorscheme commands for vim and vim-colorselector plugin (use by eddie-vim).
New plugins goes in eddie-vim/bundle/.

Hope it helps.

I had the same symptoms and it appears that the ./update.sh fails at some point, so the install is incomplete:

Entering 'bundle/vim-airline'
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
Stopping at 'bundle/vim-airline'; script returned non-zero status.

I got it fixed by running

sed -i "s~git@github.com:~git://github.com/~" eddie-vim/.gitmodules

in a fresh clone and then after that ./update.sh is happy.

Check your ssh key was correctly config in your github account.

But that is exactly the point.

I was installing eddie-vim on a server where I don't have the need to have my ssh key uploaded to github. The url git@github... requires a valid ssh key present even for public repos, while git://github does not.

All the other urls in the .gitmodule use git://, that vim-airline, added recently, didn't.

I had the same problem as yours. And after a half-an-hour hacking, I found there's no pathogen.vim in my .vim folder at all.
So I run the following command:

$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tpope/vim-pathogen/master/autoload/pathogen.vim > ~/.vim/autoload/pathogen.vim

And it turned out working fine.
If you don't have the autoload folder in your .vim, just mkdir one.
