VimOutliner Quick Install for development versions ONLY! NOTICE: This is a quick installation procedure for the VimOutliner configuration files used by vim. These instructions do not cover a full installation including the perl and shell scripts that complete VimOutiner. Files Whether you downloaded VimOutliner from the CVSweb interface or from cvs directly you should have four files: filetype.vim, vo_base.vim (from the syntax folder), vo_base.vim (from the ftplugin folder), and this file. If you do not have all of these, or accidentally overwrote one vo_base with its sibling, go back and get what you need. Manual Installation 1. Make necessary ~/.vim directories (if they don't already exist) A. make a ~/.vim directory B. make a ~/.vim/ftplugin directory C. make a ~/.vim/syntax directory D. make a ~/.vim/doc directory 2. Make other necessary directories (if they don't already exist) A. make a ~/.vimoutliner directory B. make a ~/bin directory 3. Copy the files into their respective locations A. vo_base.vim (from syntax) goes into ~/.vim/syntax B. vo_base.vim (from ftplugin) goes into ~/.vim/ftplugin C. filetype.vim (from filetype) goes into ~/.vim Warning: if you already have a ~/.vim/filetype.vim file, you should append the provided filetype/filetype.vim to your existing ~/.vim/filetype.vim D. vo_readme.txt (from doc) goes into ~/.vim/doc E. vo_maketags.pl (from scripts) goes into ~/bin 4. Integrate VimOutliner help into vim A. start vim B. execute ":helptags $HOME/.vim/doc" C. exit vim Semi-automatic install: 1. Create ~/.vim if it doesn't exist 2.
