It is recommended that you use gVim in either Windows or Linux and MacVim for
Mac. Download from:
- (Windows) http://www.vim.org/download.php#pc (gvim72.exe)
- (Mac) http://code.google.com/p/macvim/downloads/list (snapshot-52)
A nice terminal based option for Debian based distributions is the vim-full package:
apt-get install vim-full
Clone this repo into your home directory either as .vim (linux/mac) or
vimfiles (Windows):
git clone git://github.com/fabiokung/vimfiles.git ~/.vim
Then ‘cd’ into the repo and run this to get all bundles:
git submodule update --init
The ~/.vim/vimrc file needs to be loaded:
echo "runtime vimrc" > ~/.vimrc
At first usage of vim, type “:” while in command mode and execute:
call pathogen#helptags()This will make the plugins documentations available upon :help
You will need these dependencies figured out:
- Exuberant Ctags (http://ctags.sourceforge.net/)
- Ncurses-term (in Linux only), or better vim-full on some Debian based distros
In Ubuntu, for example, you will have to do:
apt-get install exuberant-ctags ncurses-term
On Windows you have to download Ctags and add ctags.exe in your PATH.
