Vim is a very powerful and highly configurable text editor available in almost all modern computing platforms. It is an improved version of the vi editor that ships with most UNIX systems. Vim is often called a "programmer's editor," and so useful for programming that many consider it an entire IDE [1]. Ubuntu Linux comes with the minimal version of Vim (vi) which lacks features such as syntax highlighting making it less useful. The full version of Vim is available in the package repository and can easily be pulled and installed by following few steps below:
The currently installed enabled and disabled features of the minimal vim can be checked as:
$vi --version
Remove the default installation package, vim-tiny:
$ sudo apt-get remove -y vim-tiny
Update the package list and Install the full version of Vim:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install -y vim
Verify if vim is successfully installed and view the list of enabled features:
$vi --version
