1 README_ami.txt for version 7.2a of Vim: Vi IMproved.
3 This file explains the installation of Vim on Amiga systems.
4 See README.txt for general information about Vim.
7 Unpack the distributed files in the place where you want to keep them. It is
8 wise to have a "vim" directory to keep your vimrc file and any other files you
9 change. The distributed files go into a subdirectory. This way you can
10 easily upgrade to a new version. For example:
12 dh0:editors/vim contains your vimrc and modified files
13 dh0:editors/vim/vim54 contains the Vim version 5.4 distributed files
14 dh0:editors/vim/vim55 contains the Vim version 5.5 distributed files
16 You would then unpack the archives like this:
22 Set the $VIM environment variable to point to the top directory of your Vim
23 files. For the above example:
25 set VIM=dh0:editors/vim
27 Vim version 5.4 will look for your vimrc file in $VIM, and for the runtime
28 files in $VIM/vim54. See ":help $VIM" for more information.
30 Make sure the Vim executable is in your search path. Either copy the Vim
31 executable to a directory that is in your search path, or (preferred) modify
32 the search path to include the directory where the Vim executable is.
