Install

Windows

On Windows Git, MinGW and Clang are required. Also, if you haven't already, you will need to install Vim. Requires Vim8.0+ compiled with if_lua. If :echo has("lua") returns 1, then you're done; otherwise, see below.

• Installing dependencies

  • Vim 32bit
  • Vim 64bit
  • Vim 32bit alternative
  • Another alternative
  • Install MinGW to C:\
  • Clang

  Note: The Vim build may not include the Lua DLL. In that case, download lua and put the lua52.dll file in the same directory as gvim.exe. Note: After installing Vim, you need to add it to your environment variable path. Just like:

  \> echo %VIMRUNTIME%
  \> D:\Vim\vim80
  

• Installing eVim

  \> git clone https://github.com/ASMlover/eVim.git
  \> cd eVim
  \> install.bat
  

• Installing powerline-fonts

  Copy powerline fonts from .\extra\powerline-fonts into your system fonts directory, you may need Administrator permission.

    \> copy /Y .\extras\powerline-fonts\*.* C:\Windows\Fonts
  

• Building YCM

  If you enbaled plugin ycm(let g:plugin_ycm_enabled=1), you need to build it. Make sure you are installed CMake and setted the environment for using MSVC(VC2013+).

    \> cd ~/.vim/plugged/YouCompleteMe
    \> git submodule update --init --recursive
    \> python3 install.py --clangd-completer
