Introduction

This is my vim configuration file, you can copy it as you well.

Installation

1.Get local copy

https://github.com/pengz1/vim.git

2.Link vim config file

ln -s vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc

3.Install Vundle

mkdir .vim/bundle
git clone https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim

or directly copy .vim/Vundle.vim from vim/Vundle.vim.

4.Install plugins Open Vim, and type :PluginInstall, wait until all plugins are installed.

5.Install dependancy (Take ubuntu for example)

• System dependancy

sudo apt-get install -y silversearcher-ag  # This is what vim-ag needs
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential cmake python-dev    #This is plugin 'YCM' needs

• Javscript

sudo apt-get install nodejs    #if you have installed node.js, you can ignore this command
npm install -g jslint
npm install -g jshint
npm install -g esctags

• Python

pip install pylint      # you need install python first

6.Compile YouCompleteMe Follows the guide in https://github.com/Valloric/YouCompleteMe, this will take very long time (around 1 hour in my PC). If you vim version is less than 7.4.1578, follow https://github.com/Valloric/YouCompleteMe/wiki/Building-Vim-from-source to build a new version vim. Note: While install vim you should only configure one of Python3.x or Python2.7, otherwise YCM will report errors.

7.Install for command-t

sudo apt-get install ruby-full
cd ~/.vim/bundle/command-t/ruby/command-t/ext/command-t
ruby extconf.rb
make

Font

To support the vim-airline or vim-powerline, the terminal font must be patched. You don't need to patch by yourself, you just need to download and install the patched font from following address:

• https://github.com/powerline/fonts
