Fast Configuration

Vim is installed by default most times at most popular linux destributions nowadays, but for PC users, you must install it yourself. You can get more detail or download gvim(gui vim, which has a windows-x86 version) from here

  • Don't forget to add the path of gvim.exe to your windows system's PATH, then you can run it from cmd with command gvim directly or just type Win+R and input gvim<Enter>.
  • If you don't like cmd, you can use git-bash instead, read [Configurate with git-bash](## Congirutate with git) for more information.

Configurate with cmd/power shell

If you don't take git installed on your pc, then you can open \_vimrc in this repository on the web browser, then right click the Raw button at the right-top corner the file, choose Save As to download it into your gvim install directory(which may be C:/Program Files (x86)/Vim by default) directly, just overwrite the default one or backup it before overwrite.

What's more, use a plugin manager to manage your vim plugins would make your life easier. This configuration use a popular vim plugin manager vundle to manager all plugins. You could visit https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim to download vundle plugin for vim, unzip it and rename the folder to Vundle.vim and copy it into <Your-gvim-install-directory>/vimfiles/plugin/, the configuration file \_vimrc would load it by command set rtp+=./vimfiles/plugin/Vundle.vim

If it goes well, we can now get everything done. However, before the final step, you should take a glance at the \_vimrc, comment the plugins that you don't need. Then open gvim and type :PluginInstall to finish the work.

Now, everything is well prepared for you, just enjoy this amazing editor:)

Configurate with git-bash

If you think cmd or power shell is so awful a shell, I would recommand you take a try at git-bash. vim is installed itself. Then git-bash can be recognized as something like bash in linux, so you can continue your configuration by my vim profile.

  • If you do like this way, DO NOT add the path of gvim into the PATH, more specifically, you have no need to install gvim any more.
