EWSVim

Tired of vanilla EWS Vim? Why not upgrade to vim 8 and install awesome plugins such as YCM to make life easier? Oh wait, we don't have EWS sudo access. :( BUT DON'T WORRY, I GOTCHU

Installation

git clone https://github.com/alz2/EWSVim.git
cd EWSVim/ 
./pimpmyvim.sh

What This Script Does

1. Install ncurses by from source
2. Install Vim 8.0 from source
3. Install Vundle for vim
4. Install YouCompleteMe via Vundle

More information

To have the newly built vim8 as your default, this script prepends the path to the vim8 binary to your $PATH by modifying your bashrc. It will not delete any lines of your bashrc. The script also modifies your .vimrc by prepending Vundle lines. With this being said, it will not delete any lines of your vimrc either. This script also will NOT destroy your EWS machine... you can look at the source code if you don't believe me. Additionally, the work this script does is easily removable, just read the next section!

Deletion

1. Remove last line of your .bashrc. This will revert you back to vanilla EWS Vim.
2. Remove Vundle lines from your vimrc. This will disable Vundle
3. Optional: Remove EWSVim/ and .vim/bundle

Special Thanks

Thanks to Kyle for being one of the first people to trust my script with an EWS Machine :)
