<h1>Version</h1>

Vim 7.3 is the latest stable version.  It is highly recommended, many bugs have 
been fixed since 7.2 and earlier.
If you have a problem with it (e.g.,
when it's too big for your system), you could try version 6.4 or 5.8 instead.
<p>
To avoid having to update this page for every new version, there are
links to the directories.  From there select the files you want to download.
In the file names ## stands for the version number.  For example,
<b>vim##src.zip</b>
with version 7.3 is <b>vim73src.zip</b> and
<b>vim-##-src.tar.gz</b> for version 7.3
is <b>vim-7.3-src.tar.gz</b>.
Links are provided for quick access to the latest version.

<hr noshade size="1" color="#000000">

<A NAME="unix"></A>
<h1>Unix</h1>
The best way to install Vim on Unix is to use the sources.  This requires a
compiler and its support files.  Compiling Vim isn't difficult at all.
You can simply type "make install" when you are happy with the default
features.  Edit the Makefile in the "src" directory to select specific
features.
<p>
You need to download at the sources and the runtime files.
And apply all the latest patches.
For Vim 6 up to 7.2 you can optionally get the "lang" archive, which adds 
translated messages and menus. For 7.3 this is included with the runtime files.
<dl>
<dt><b>Using Mercurial</b></dt>
<dd>
This is the simplest and most efficient way to obtain the latest version, 
including all patches.  This requires the "hg" command.
<br>
The explanations are on this page:
<a href="<?=$BASE?>/mercurial.php">Mercurial</a>
<p>
Summary:
<pre class='example'>
hg clone https://vim.googlecode.com/hg/ vim
cd vim/src
make
</pre>
</dd>

<dt><b>Using Aap</b></dt>
<dd>
Aap is a new tool that does all the work of downloading and patching for you.
You download one file, called a recipe, and "aap install" does all the work.
To later update to the latest version of Vim you do not need to download
anything manually, just use the command "aap update".
<p>
The detailed explanation can be found
<a href="http://www.a-a-p.org/ports.html">here</a>.
This does require Python and installing Aap.  Please report problems to Bram AT
a-a-p.org.
</dd>

<dt><b>version 7.x</b></dt>

	</tr>
	</table>
</dd>
</dl>
The files ending in ".tar.gz" are tar archives that are compressed with gzip.
Unpack them with <B>tar -xzf <I>filename</I></B>.
<br>
The single big file ending in ".tar.bz2" is a tar archive compressed with
bzip2.  Uncompress and unpack it with
<B>bunzip2 -c <I>filename</I> | tar -xf -</B>.
<br>
All archives should be unpacked in the same directory.
<p>
If you can't compile yourself or don't want to, look at the site of the
supplier of your Unix version for a packaged Vim executable.  For Linux
distributions and FreeBSD these are often available shortly after a new Vim
version has been released.  But you can't change the features then.

<A NAME="pc"></A>
<h1>PC: MS-DOS and MS-Windows</h1>
For modern MS-Windows systems (starting with XP) you can simply use the 
executable installer:<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<A HREF="ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/pc/gvim73_46.exe">gvim73_46.exe</A><br>
It includes GUI and console versions, for 32 bit and 64 bit systems.
You can select what you want to install and includes an uninstaller.
<p>
Since there are so many different versions of MS operating systems, there are
several versions of Vim for them.
<br>For Vim 5.x, Vim 6.x and Vim 7 look in
<A HREF="ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/pc">the pc directory</A>.
<dl>
<dt><B>Self-installing executable</B>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;gvim##.exe &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<A HREF="ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/pc/gvim73_46.exe">gvim73_46.exe</A></dt>
<dd>
For Vim 6 and later.  This includes a GUI version
of Vim - with many features and OLE support - and all the runtime files.
It works well on MS-Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista/7.
Use this if you have enough disk space and memory.  It's the simplest way to
start using Vim on the PC.  The installer allows you to skip the parts you
don't want.
<BR>
For Vim 6.3 and later it also includes a console version, both for MS-Windows 
95/98/ME and MS-Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista/7.  The installer automatically 
selects the right one.
<BR>
For the latest version with all patches included see <a href="#cream">Cream</a>

is high and complaints are few.

<A HREF="http://code.google.com/p/vim-win3264/">http://code.google.com/p/vim-win3264/</A>.
The Win32 binaries should run too, but the 64 bit version has a few minor 
advantages (see the web page at the link).

For all the following binary versions you need this runtime archive, which
includes the documentation, syntax files, etc.  Always get this, unless you
use the self-installing executable.
</dd>

<dd>
A GUI version with OLE support.  This offers a few extra features,
such as integration with Visual Developer Studio.  But it uses quite a bit
more memory.
</dd>
<dt><B>Win32s GUI executable</B>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;gvim##_s.zip &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<A HREF="ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/pc/gvim73_46_s.zip">gvim73_46_s.zip</A></dt>

<br>
A true Windows 3.1 version can be found here:
<A HREF="http://www.bulbous.freeserve.co.uk/vim16.html">http://www.bulbous.freeserve.co.uk/vim16.html</A>
</dd>

There are three versions that run on MS-DOS or in a console window in
MS-Windows:
<dl>
<dt><B>16 bit DOS executable</B>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;vim##d16.zip &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<A HREF="ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/pc/vim71d16.zip">vim71d16.zip</A></dt>
<dd>
The 16 bit DOS version is the only one that runs on old MS-DOS systems.  Only
use this if you are really desparate, because it excludes many useful features
(such as syntax highlighting and long file names) and quickly runs out of
memory.<br>
The last version available is 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 are too big to fit in the DOS memory 
model.
</dd>
<dt><B>32 bit DOS executable</B>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;vim##d32.zip &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<A HREF="ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/pc/vim73_46d32.zip">vim73_46d32.zip</A></dt>
<dd>
The 32 bit DOS version works well on MS-Windows 95/98/ME.  It requires a DPMI
manager, which needs to be installed on MS-DOS.  MS-Windows already has one.
It supports long file names, but NOT on MS-Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista/7.  It is 
compiled with "big" features.
</dd>
<dt><B>Win32 console executable</B>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;vim##w32.zip &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<A HREF="ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/pc/vim73_46w32.zip">vim73_46w32.zip</A></dt>
<dd>
The Win32 console version works well on MS-Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista/7.  It 
supports long file names and is compiled with "big" features.  It does not run
perfectly well on MS-Windows 95/98/ME, especially when resizing the console
window (this may crash MS-Windows...).
</dd>
</dl>
There are a few extra files:
<dl>
<dt><B>iconv library</B>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/projects/gettext">libiconv</A></dt>
<dd>
A library used for converting character sets.
Put "iconv.dll" in the same directory as gvim.exe to be able to edit files in
many encodings.  You can find the dll file in the bin directory of the
"libiconv-win32" archive.
</dd>
<dt><B>newer intl library</B>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/projects/gettext">libintl</A></dt>
<dd>
The included libintl.dll does not support encoding conversion.
If you have installed the iconv library, as mentioned above, you can install a
gettext library that uses it.
Get "intl.dll" from the bin directory in the gettext-win32 archive and store it
as "libintl.dll" in the same directory as gvim.exe, overwriting the file
that may already be there.
</dd>
<dt><B>PC sources</B>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;vim##src.zip &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<A HREF="ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/pc/vim73_46src.zip">vim73_46src.zip</A></dt>
<dd>
The source files, packed for the PC.  This only includes the files needed on
the PC, not for other systems.  The files are in dos format CR-LF.

Since MacOS 10.3 the "vi" program is actually a console version of Vim 6.2 or 
later.  It has few features.  If you want a GUI version or more features Vim 
needs to be installed separately.

There are currently two kinds of Vim for Macintosh:
<UL>
<LI>Using the Cocoa GUI.  Also known as MacVim.  This is the latest and is 
being actively developed.  This behaves like a Mac application.</LI>

Hint: stuffit expander can handle .bz2 files.
