Fork me on GITHUB https://github.com/vgod/vimrc.

Use curl (for Mac OS X):

 curl -o - https://raw.github.com/vgod/vimrc/master/auto-install.sh | sh

or wget (for most UNIX platforms):

 wget -O - https://raw.github.com/vgod/vimrc/master/auto-install.sh | sh

1. Check out from github

    git clone git://github.com/vgod/vimrc.git ~/.vim
    cd ~/.vim
    git submodule update --init
   

2. Install ~/.vimrc and ~/.gvimrc

    ./install-vimrc.sh
   

3. (Optional, if you want Command-T) Compile the Command-T plugin

    cd .vim/bundle/command-t/ruby/command-t
    ruby extconf.rb
    make
   

1. Check out from github

    cd C:\Program Files\Vim (or your installed path to Vim)
    rmdir /s vimfiles (This deletes your old vim configurations. If you want to keep it, use move instead of rmdir.)
    git clone git://github.com/vgod/vimrc.git vimfiles
    git submodule update --init
   

2. Install vimrc. Add the following line at the end of C:\Program Files\Vim\vimrc.

    source $VIM/vimfiles/vimrc
   

All plugins (except vim-latex) were checked out as git submodules, which can be upgraded with git pull. For example, to upgrade Command-T

 cd ~/.vim/bundle/command-t
 git pull

To install a new plugin as a git submoudle, type the following commands.

 cd ~/.vim
 git submodule add [GIT-REPOSITORY-URL] bundle/[PLUGIN-NAME]
