vim-config

This is my own personal vim configuration, and how to get/use/install it. It is a work in progress.

Installing Go

(so vim-go doesn't complain) if you don't have it already

mkdir $HOME/go
wget --quiet -O - https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.3.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz | tar -C $HOME/go -xzvf -
export GOROOT=$HOME/go/go
export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

Now add the following to your .bashrc or .bash_profile

export GOROOT=$HOME/go/go
export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

Installing this VIM configuration

(
  mkdir -p $HOME/.vim/colors
  wget --quiet -O $HOME/.vimrc \
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apokalyptik/vim-config/master/.vimrc > $HOME/.vimrc
  wget --quiet -O $HOME/.vim/colors/vividchalk.vim \
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tpope/vim-vividchalk/master/colors/vividchalk.vim
  git clone https://github.com/gmarik/Vundle.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
  vim +PluginClean +PluginInstall +qall
)

If you plan on using this for Go... Do this inside vim (once)

Setting up VIM on Debian Wheezy

Wheezy has an old version of vim that supports niether neocomplete nor youcompleteme. I built vim 7.4 .deb files for the purpose of working around this limitation. To use these replacement vim versions we need to do the following (as root):

(
# just to be on the safe side
  apt-get update
 
# VIM
  # install the new vim packages
  # from -- https://github.com/apokalyptik/vim-config/tree/master/debian-wheezy-amd64
  dpkg -i \
    vim-common_7.4.273-2_amd64.deb \
    vim-runtime_7.4.273-2_all.deb \
    vim-tiny_7.4.273-2_amd64.deb \
    vim_7.4.273-2_amd64.deb \
    vim-nox_7.4.273-2_amd64.deb
  # have apt resolve the dependencies, please.
  apt-get -fqqy install
 
# Go - all 3 are required for go (supports mercurial in "go get" and many "semi-core" programs hosted with it)
  apt-get install git subversion mercurial
 
# Allow building of YouCompleteMe (vim autocompleter)
  apt-get install make cmake python-dev libboost-python-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-regex-dev
)
