On those systems, the trick is simply to install the GUI version which comes with both a gvim command for starting the GUI and a vim command for starting the TUI. It is therefore generally recommended to install a complete build. This is not a problem if all you need is a quick way to edit config files but you will soon hit a number of walls if you intend to make Vim your main editor. The Vim on your machine-if there is one-is very likely to be a "small" build that lacks useful features like clipboard support, syntax highlighting or even the ability to use plugins.

Version=$(ls -1r /usr/local/Cellar/macvim/ | head -1) So let’s make sure we have the latest version If MacVim gets upgraded you can have multiple versions of Vim installed So assuming you already have Homebrew set up The first thing is that you should install the version of MacVim that comes with Homebrew, not Cask. However it’s taken a bit of effort to get Vim (installed via Homebrew) working the way I like it so hopefully these notes will help other people as well.

I also use Homebrew to manage my software packages, and if you are on OS X you should as well.

If you do use Vim then I recommend a plugin manager to make life simpler, I use Vundle installed from Maximum Awesome
