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/vim71", + 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 vim71os2.zip + unzip vim71os2.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\vim71 + set path=%path%;D:\editors\vim\vim71 + +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\vim71\vim.exe The Vim version 7.1 executable. + C:\vim\vim71\doc\*.txt The version 7.1 documentation files. + C:\vim\vim71\bugreport.vim A Vim version 7.1 script. + C:\vim\vim71\... Other version 7.1 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 + +For further information, type this inside Vim: + :help os2
