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:
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
16 You 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
22 Set the $VIM environment variable to point to the top directory of your Vim
23 files. For the above example:
24
25 set VIM=dh0:editors/vim
26
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.
