My Awesome Vim Configurations

Installation

Install homebrew and vim

1. Install homebrew package manager

    $ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"
   

2. Install python, lua, ruby by brew

    $ brew install python
    $ brew install lua
    $ brew install ruby
   

3. Install vim and macvim; macvim is going to replace the system vim with the --with-override-system-vim flag on

    $ brew install vim --with-python --with-ruby --with-perl --with-lua
    $ brew install macvim --env-std --with-override-system-vim --with-cscope --with-python --with-ruby --with-perl --with-lua --HEAD
   

Configure vim

$ git clone https://[email protected]/brucedsu/dotvim.git ~/.vim
$ cd ~/.vim && ./install-vim

Compile YouCompleteMe

• YouCompleteMe only supports python 2.7, NOT python 3 and above

• For better YouCompleteMe experience, just use macvim (overriding system vim)

    $ cd ~/.vim/plugins/YouCompleteMe
    $ ./install.py --clang-completer --js-completer --java-completer
    $ ./install.py --all
