Hi, I made some mistake when installing. I use mac osx el capitan.

so I just basically run the install command from README, and notice some error and managed to get rid of it, includes

  • upgrades homebrew version from ? to 1.3.8 (I can't remember previous version)
  • upgrade ruby version, from 2.3 to 2.4
  • running xcode-select --install

what I didn't realize is, the install command uses bash /tmp/haskell-vim-now.sh while I'm using zsh. So it seems to me that the install script is installing the wrong stuff but I have no idea what it is.

the problem now is after I realize that I'm using zsh and re-run the install command using zsh /tmp/haskell-vim-now.sh I get the following error

And now I can't open vim!!!!
Whenever I try to open vim, I get this error

Thanks for your help!

We can look into the installation problem later, but to solve your vim not starting problem you can restore your old configuration files. The haskell-vim-now installer has backed them up for you.

Look in your ~/.config/haskell-vim-now/backup directory. Get rid of the .vimrc and .vim symlinks in your home directory and copy the .vimrc and .vim files from this backup directory to your home.
