Dear All,


I am a new user of cygwin to practice the linux/unix commands in the window.

But i am unable to use the vi or vim command. I downloaded the vim-7.0.tar
file. Now what should i do as there is no exe file....

Can anyone please help me?

Best regards,

Shahed

You should not just download the vim tar file.


What you need to do is run the Cygwin setup utility
(http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe) and tell it to install vim for you.

It will take care of the messy details.
