In your home directory (Linux or Mac), run:
mv ~/.vim ~/vim_old # backup your old .vim folder
git clone git://github.com/akitaonrails/vimfiles.git ~/.vim
mv ~/.vimrc ~/vimrc_old
mv ~/.vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc
If you’re using Windows do the following under C:\Documents and Settings\Your_User
git clone git://github.com/akitaonrails/vimfiles.git vimfiles
move vimfiles\vimrc _vimrc
copy vimfiles\snippets.vim.win32 vimfiles\after\plugin\snippets.vim
Still on Windows, edit your _vimrc to replace this line:
set guifont=Monaco:h13
for this one:
set guifont=Consolas:h13
Monaco is for Mac, Consolas is for Windows. Under Linux better try “Bitstream Vera Sans Mono”
