vimrc

Installation

On Windows:

git clone https://github.com/chelxom/vimrc %USERPROFILE%/.vim
curl -fLo %USERPROFILE%/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim
mklink /d %USERPROFILE%\vimfiles %USERPROFILE%\.vim
vim +PlugInstall

On Unix-like:

git clone https://github.com/chelxom/vimrc ~/.vim
curl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim
vim +PlugInstall

On Windows, Vim doesn't treats ~/.vim/ as 'runtimepath'/'rtp' by default, but ~/vimfiles/. However it's ok to clone Vundle into ~/.vim/ since Vundle is setup consistently using set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim/. And dependencies it installs will be put under ~/.vim/ and well recognized by Vim (Vundle adds their path to 'rtp' too).

Mandatory dependencies

Python3

1. Check the exact version of Python3 which VIM is compiled against.

   In VIM, run :version and check the compilation option -DDYNAMIC_PYTHON3_DLL, it's the exact version of Python3 to install. Assump it's python36.dll.

   Not mandatory, but to avoid warnings.

2. If the VIM is 32-bit, the Python3 must be 32-bit too.

   Create a new Conda environment and install 32-bit Python3 (ref):

   conda create -n py3_x86_vim
   conda activate py3_x86_vim
   conda config --env --set subdir win-32
   conda install python=3.6

   Keep the environment name py3_x86_vim exactly the same to save configuring the path on new machines.
