*90.2* MS-Windows
|
||||
|
||||
There are two ways to install the Vim program for Microsoft Windows. You can
|
||||
uncompress several archives, or use a self-installing big archive. Most users
|
||||
with fairly recent computers will prefer the second method. For the first
|
||||
one, you will need:
|
||||
There are several ways to install the Vim program for Microsoft Windows:
|
||||
|
||||
- An archive with binaries for Vim.
|
||||
- The Vim runtime archive.
|
||||
- A program to unpack the zip files.
|
||||
1. Official Website Download (Stable)~
|
||||
|
||||
To get the Vim archives, look in this file for a mirror near you, this should
|
||||
provide the fastest download:
|
||||
Visit the official Vim website at https://www.vim.org to download the latest
|
||||
stable version. The site links to the Windows installer that works out of the
|
||||
box for most users.
|
||||
|
||||
ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/MIRRORS
|
||||
2. Using winget (Windows Package Manager) ~
|
||||
|
||||
Or use the home site ftp.vim.org, if you think it's fast enough. Go to the
|
||||
"pc" directory and you'll find a list of files there. The version number is
|
||||
embedded in the file name. You will want to get the most recent version.
|
||||
We will use "82" here, which is version 8.2.
|
||||
If you prefer using the command line, you can quickly install Vim using
|
||||
Windows' built-in package manager for the stable version: >
|
||||
|
||||
gvim82.exe The self-installing archive.
|
||||
winget install vim.vim
|
||||
|
||||
This is all you need for the second method. Just launch the executable, and
|
||||
follow the prompts.
|
||||
Or to download the latest nightly version, use: >
|
||||
|
||||
For the first method you must choose one of the binary archives. These are
|
||||
available:
|
||||
winget install vim.vim.nightly
|
||||
|
||||
gvim82.zip The normal MS-Windows GUI version.
|
||||
gvim82ole.zip The MS-Windows GUI version with OLE support.
|
||||
Uses more memory, supports interfacing with
|
||||
other OLE applications.
|
||||
vim82w32.zip 32 bit MS-Windows console version.
|
||||
This method ensures you get an up-to-date version with minimal hassle.
|
||||
|
||||
You only need one of them. Although you could install both a GUI and a
|
||||
console version. You always need to get the archive with runtime files.
|
||||
3. GitHub Installer (All Architectures) >
|
||||
|
||||
vim82rt.zip The runtime files.
|
||||
For more control over the installation (or if you're using a specific CPU
|
||||
architecture like ARM), visit the official GitHub repository:
|
||||
|
||||
Use your un-zip program to unpack the files. For example, using the "unzip"
|
||||
program: >
|
||||
https://github.com/vim/vim-win32-installer/
|
||||
|
||||
cd c:\
|
||||
unzip path\gvim82.zip
|
||||
unzip path\vim82rt.zip
|
||||
This repo provides daily installer and portable zip archives for:
|
||||
|
||||
This will unpack the files in the directory "c:\vim\vim82". If you already
|
||||
have a "vim" directory somewhere, you will want to move to the directory just
|
||||
above it.
|
||||
Now change to the "vim\vim82" directory and run the install program: >
|
||||
- x86 (32-bit)
|
||||
- x64 (64-bit)
|
||||
- ARM64
|
||||
|
||||
install
|
||||
|
||||
Carefully look through the messages and select the options you want to use.
|
||||
If you finally select "do it" the install program will carry out the actions
|
||||
you selected.
|
||||
The install program doesn't move the runtime files. They remain where you
|
||||
unpacked them.
|
||||
It’s a great option if you want nightly builds or specific configuration
|
||||
|
||||
In case you are not satisfied with the features included in the supplied
|
||||
binaries, you could try compiling Vim yourself. Get the source archive from
|
||||
the same location as where the binaries are. You need a compiler for which a
|
||||
makefile exists. Microsoft Visual C, MinGW and Cygwin compilers can be used.
|
||||
Check the file src/INSTALLpc.txt for hints.
|
||||
Check the file src/INSTALLpc.txt for hints. You can get the source from:
|
||||
|
||||
