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.

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.
