# Shaun's `tmux` Dotfiles
|
||||
|
||||
## Location
|
||||
The configuration file needs to be present at this location, `~/.vimrc`. So, we can use the following command to softlink/symlink,
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ln -s <location of cloned dotfiles .vimrc file> ~/.vimrc
|
||||
# e.g.
|
||||
# ln -s ~/dotfiles/vim/.vimrc ~/.vimrc
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The configuration file also uses a directory to place scripts and files which needs to be present at this location, `~/.vim`. So, we can use the following command to softlink/symlink,
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ln -s <location of cloned dotfiles .vim directory> ~/.vim
|
||||
# e.g.
|
||||
# ln -s ~/dotfiles/vim/.vim ~/.vim
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Install Plugin Manager (`Vundle`)
|
||||
We will use `vundle` as our plugin manager, but it cannot install itself. So we have to clone it into the proper place.
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Install Plugins
|
||||
Once the tmux symlink is created, we can install all plugins. This is done from within a vim window.
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
vim
|
||||
:PluginInstall
|
||||
# Or this from the shell ..
|
||||
# vim +PluginInstall +qall
|
||||
```
