How to install Vim 8.2 on Ubuntu and its derivatives

You can install it by executing one of the following commands based on its system.

Ubuntu and its derivative version

[linuxidc@linux:~/www.linuxidc.com] $sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/vim

[linuxidc@linux:~/www.linuxidc.com] $sudo apt-get update [linuxidc@linux:~/www.linuxidc.com] $sudo apt install vim

Arch Linux and its derivative version

[linuxidc@linux:~/www.linuxidc.com] $sudo pacman-S vim [linuxidc@linux:~/www.linuxidc.com] $flatpak install flathub org.vim.Vim

For anyone who likes Vim, the vim plug-in manager is a must. You can find some options available in. My personal favorite is vim-plug, which is a beautiful and minimalist plug-in for vim. Let's take a look at how to install and use this plug-in on Linux or Unix-like systems.

How to install vim-plug

Naturally, you must install vim on your system. For demonstration purposes, I use Ubuntu Linux. Download plug.vim and place it in the "autoload" directory:

[linuxidc@linux:~/www.linuxidc.com] $mkdir-p ~ / .vim/autoload/ [linuxidc@linux:~/www.linuxidc.com] $cd ~ / .vim/autoload/

Now let's use the wget or curl command to get the plugin.vim as follows:

[linuxidc@linux:~/.vim/autoload] $wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim

Or

[linuxidc@linux:~/.vim/autoload] $curl-O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim

As shown below:

How do I configure vim's plug-in manager vim-plug for Linux or Unix?

The syntax in ~ / .vimrc is as follows:

Specify the plug-in directory

Call plug#begin ('~ / .vim / plugged')

The plug-in allows you to use any valid git URL

Plug 'valid git URL'

Abbreviated symbols for plug-ins

Plug 'linuxidc/linux'

Initialize the plug-in system

Call plug#end ()

Example:

Suppose you want to use a bottom state enhancement / beautification vim plug-in called vim-airline. You need to add the following to the ~ / .vimrc file:

Call plug#begin ('~ / .vim / plugged') Plugin 'vim-airline/vim-airline' call plug#end ()

Save and close the file.

Install vim-airline or other plug-ins

Start the vim text editor:

[linuxidc@linux:~/www.linuxidc.com] $vim

To install vim-airline, enter:

: PlugInstall

An example of a session is as follows:

Use the following command to check the status:

: PlugStatus

To update the plug-in, enter:

: PlugUpdate

To upgrade the vim-plug itself, type the following in the vim session:

: PlugUpgrade

Clear

The PlugClean cleanup plug-in needs to be deleted or commented out in .vimrc now.
