-NOTE: You will need two archives:
- vim74rt.zip contains the runtime files (same as for the PC version)
- vim74os2.zip contains the OS/2 executables
-
-1. Go to the directory where you want to put the Vim files. Examples:
- cd C:\
- cd D:\editors
-
-2. Unpack the zip archives. This will create a new directory "vim/vim74",
- in which all the distributed Vim files are placed. Since the directory
- name includes the version number, it is unlikely that you overwrite
- existing files.
- Examples:
- pkunzip -d vim74os2.zip
- unzip vim74os2.zip
-
- After you unpacked the files, you can still move the whole directory tree
- to another location.
-
-3. Add the directory where vim.exe is to your path. The simplest is to add a
- line to your autoexec.bat. Examples:
- set path=%path%;C:\vim\vim74
- set path=%path%;D:\editors\vim\vim74
-
-That's it!
-
-
-Extra remarks:
-
-- To avoid confusion between distributed files of different versions and your
- own modified vim scripts, it is recommended to use this directory layout:
- ("C:\vim" is used here as the root, replace with the path you use)
- Your own files:
- C:\vim\_vimrc Your personal vimrc.
- C:\vim\_viminfo Dynamic info for 'viminfo'.
- C:\vim\... Other files you made.
- Distributed files:
- C:\vim\vim74\vim.exe The Vim version 7.4 executable.
- C:\vim\vim74\doc\*.txt The version 7.4 documentation files.
- C:\vim\vim74\bugreport.vim A Vim version 7.4 script.
- C:\vim\vim74\... Other version 7.4 distributed files.
- In this case the $VIM environment variable would be set like this:
- set VIM=C:\vim
-
-- You can put your Vim executable anywhere else. If the executable is not
- with the other distributed Vim files, you should set $VIM. The simplest is
- to add a line to your autoexec.bat. Examples:
- set VIM=c:\vim
- set VIM=d:\editors\vim
