1README_ami.txt for version 7.3 of Vim: Vi IMproved. 2 3This file explains the installation of Vim on Amiga systems. 4See README.txt for general information about Vim. 5 6 7Unpack the distributed files in the place where you want to keep them. It is 8wise to have a "vim" directory to keep your vimrc file and any other files you 9change. The distributed files go into a subdirectory. This way you can 10easily upgrade to a new version. For example: 11 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 15 16You would then unpack the archives like this: 17 18 cd dh0:editors 19 tar xf t:vim60bin.tar 20 tar xf t:vim60rt.tar 21 22Set the $VIM environment variable to point to the top directory of your Vim 23files. For the above example: 24 25 set VIM=dh0:editors/vim 26 27Vim version 5.4 will look for your vimrc file in $VIM, and for the runtime 28files in $VIM/vim54. See ":help $VIM" for more information. 29 30Make sure the Vim executable is in your search path. Either copy the Vim 31executable to a directory that is in your search path, or (preferred) modify 32the search path to include the directory where the Vim executable is. 33
