It is recommended that you use gVim in either Windows or Linux and MacVim for Mac. Downlaod from:
Clone this repo into your home directory either as .vim (linux/mac) or vimfiles (Windows). Such as:
git clone git://github.com/mindmirror/vimfiles.git ~/.vim
Now just copy (or symlink) the .vim/vimrc file as .vimrc (Mac/Linux) or copy as _vimrc (Windows) in your home directory. In Mac and Linux, the easiest thing to do is:
ln -s ~/.vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc
If you already have a custom .vimrc file, append the following lines to load everything else along with your personal hacks:
source ~/.vim/vimrc "linux
source ~/vimfiles/vimrc "windows
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:
- Ruby (for the fuzzy finder pluin)
- Exuberant Ctags (http://ctags.sourceforge.net/)
- Ncurses-term (in Linux only)
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.
Mac OS X and most Linux distros come with Ruby already. If you’re in Windows look for Luis Lavena’s latest Ruby Installer (http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubyinstaller/)
