Install MacVim on Mac OS X
Download MacVim-snapshot-73-Mavericks.tbz from
https://github.com/b4winckler/macvim/releases.
(Note: The binary requires Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) or later. It will
not run on earlier versions of Mac OS X!)
To install, drag the MacVim.app to the
Applications folder. You are good to go by double clicking
this MacVim icon.
To start MacVim from Terminal, set the PATH enviroment
variable to include the location where the mvim script has
to be found. To do this move the mvim script to your
favourite location, which in my case is /Users/sunaina/bin
and add this path to /etc/paths.
To set PATH, enter the following command on Terminal.
sudo vi /etc/paths
Enter your password and you will see all the paths you have. Add
the path to the mvim script to this file, save and quit.
Open a new Terminal. You should be able to start MacVim from Terminal
with the following command.
mvim
You can customize your MacVim to suit your needs. For doing this create
a .vimrc file at your home location. You can download my
customizations from https://github.com/sunainapai/dotfiles.
