Unless explicitly specified otherwise, all files other than .vimrc itself
are to be installed in $HOME/.vim/. .vimrc itself is of course meant to go
directly into $HOME. Note that at least one feature (backup directories) is
currently only configured to work in a Unix(-like) environment.
Additionally, it is necessary to install Vundle as described here:
https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim
After all is said and done, run :PluginInstall in Vim to pull down the
plugins.
I now use vim-plug. Except for YouCompleteMe, :PlugInstall should be
adequate to take care of everything.
As of my inclusion of YouCompleteMe in Vundle vim-plug packages, there are
extra steps for compiling it that can be found
here. Note that compilation of
YouCompleteMe can be forced to use Python 3 like so (for example; other
options are possible):
python3 install.py --js-completer --java-completerOne other thing I've noticed is that, if this configuration is to be used on
Google Cloud Shell, the following needs to be added to $HOME/.bashrc (or
equivalent) to work:
export TERM=xterm-256colorYou may as well set the background color in Google Cloud Shell to #000 then
to avoid the ugly clash that would happen otherwise.
