Vue.js Plugin errors, files not opening

 Hey guys, 

Been struggling with the universe that is Intellij IDEA.

I've tried to download the Vue.js plugin from JetBrains Repository. 

After pressing install, it alerts a pop-up for a restart, which it does, but sometimes throws (on restart) a 

'Critical Startup error, Vuejs plugin not found in /Library/caches/..'

There are no icons, and the worst part is, the damn thing won't even open the files for editing.......

Is Intellij editor just garbage?

Also, I'm building the Vue frontend which will consume a Spring Boot backend, so the ide may think its a java app? (idk.. Don't know if that is related to the issue)
