- README_ami.txt for version 6.0 of Vim: Vi IMproved.
-
- This file explains the installation of Vim on Amiga systems.
- See README.txt for general information about Vim.
-
-
- Unpack the distributed files in the place where you want to keep them. It is
- wise to have a "vim" directory to keep your vimrc file and any other files you
- change. The distributed files go into a subdirectory. This way you can
- easily upgrade to a new version. For example:
-
- dh0:editors/vim contains your vimrc and modified files
- dh0:editors/vim/vim54 contains the Vim version 5.4 distributed files
- dh0:editors/vim/vim55 contains the Vim version 5.5 distributed files
-
- You would then unpack the archives like this:
-
- cd dh0:editors
- tar xf t:vim60bin.tar
- tar xf t:vim60rt.tar
-
- Set the $VIM environment variable to point to the top directory of your Vim
- files. For the above example:
-
- set VIM=dh0:editors/vim
-
- Vim version 5.4 will look for your vimrc file in $VIM, and for the runtime
- files in $VIM/vim54. See ":help $VIM" for more information.
-
- Make sure the Vim executable is in your search path. Either copy the Vim
- executable to a directory that is in your search path, or (preferred) modify
- the search path to include the directory where the Vim executable is.
