Downloading Vim

Vim is available for many different systems and there are several versions.

This page will help you decide what to download.

Most popular:MS-Windows:

Recent and signed MS-Windows files are available on the

vim-win32-installer site

The current stable version is gvim_8.2.2825.exe.

An alternative is the standard self-installing executable, currently version 8.2.2824.

Unix:

See the GitHub page, or Mercurial, if you prefer that.

There is also an

Appimage

which is build daily and runs on many Linux systems.

Mac:

See the MacVim project for a GUI version and Homebrew for a terminal version

Details and options for:Alternative sites to download Vim files from.

Build Vim yourself and/or make changes.

Obtain Vim sources with a git client (recommended).

Obtain Vim sources with a Mercurial client

(recommended if you don't like git).

Include the latest improvements (requires sources and rebuilding).

Get the latest syntax files, documentation, etc..

Links to individual syntax, indent, color, compiler and ftplugin scripts.

Non-English documentation packages.

Versions before 7.3 can also be obtained with

Subversion

and

CVS.

Version

Vim 8.2 is the latest stable version. It is highly recommended, many bugs have

been fixed since previous versions.

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.

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,

vim##src.zip

with version 8.2 is vim82src.zip and

vim-##-src.tar.gz for version 8.2

is vim-8.2-src.tar.gz.

Links are provided for quick access to the latest version.

Note that the links point to the latest version (currently 8.2) to avoid

that caching causes you to get an older version.

Unix

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.

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 and later this is included with the

runtime files.Using git

This is the simplest and most efficient way to obtain the latest version,

including all patches. This requires the "git" command.

The explanations are on the GitHub page.

Summary:git clone https://github.com/vim/vim.git

cd vim/src

make

Using Mercurial

This is another simple and most efficient way to obtain the latest version,

including all patches. This requires the "hg" command.

The explanations are on this page:

Mercurial

Summary:hg clone https://bitbucket.org/vim-mirror/vim

cd vim/src

make

version 7.x and 8.x

There is one big file to download that contains almost everything.

It is found in

the unix directory

(ftp):

The runtime and source files together: vim-##.tar.bz2

The files ending in ".tar.gz" are tar archives that are compressed with gzip.

Unpack them with tar -xzf filename.

The single big file ending in ".tar.bz2" is a tar archive compressed with

bzip2. Uncompress and unpack it with

bunzip2 -c filename | tar -xf -.

All archives should be unpacked in the same directory.

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.Debian packages are available at:

http://packages.debian.org/vim.

Sun Solaris Vim is included in the Companion Software:

http://wwws.sun.com/software/solaris/freeware/.

Vim for other Sun systems can be found at

http://sunfreeware.com/.

PC: MS-DOS and MS-Windows

For modern MS-Windows systems (starting with XP) you can simply use the

executable installer:

gvim82.exe (ftp)

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.

If you want a signed version you can get a build from

vim-win32-installer

It supports many interfaces, such as Perl, Tcl, Lua, Python and Ruby.

There are also 64bit versions which only run on 64 bit MS-Windows and use a

lot more memory, but is compatible with 64 bit plugins.

You can also get a nightly build from there with the most recent improvements,

with a small risk that something is broken.

Since there are so many different versions of MS operating systems, there are

several versions of Vim for them.

For Vim 5.x, Vim 6.x and Vim 7 look in

the pc directory (ftp).Self-installing executable   gvim##.exe    gvim82.exe (ftp)

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.

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.

Runtime files   vim##rt.zip    vim82rt.zip (ftp)

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.

There are three versions that run as an MS-Windows application. These provide

menus, scrollbars and a toolbar.GUI executable   gvim##.zip    gvim82.zip (ftp)

This is the "normal" GUI version.

OLE GUI executable   gvim##ole.zip    gvim82ole.zip (ftp)

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.

There are three versions that run on MS-DOS or in a console window in

MS-Windows:

Win32 console executable   vim##w32.zip    vim82w32.zip (ftp)

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...).

32 bit DOS executable   vim##d32.zip    vim73_46d32.zip (ftp)

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.

Not available for 7.4 and later.

16 bit DOS executable   vim##d16.zip    vim71d16.zip (ftp)

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.

The last version available is 7.1. Version 7.2 and later are too big to fit in

the DOS memory model.

There are a few extra files:

iconv library   libiconv

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.

newer intl library   libintl

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.

PC sources   vim##src.zip    vim82src.zip (ftp)

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.

PC debug files   gvim##.pdb    gvim82.pdb (ftp)   gvim##ole.pdb    gvim82ole.pdb (ftp)   vim##w32.pdb    vim80w32.pdb (ftp)

When you notice a bug or a crash in Vim these files can be used to help tracing down the problem. In Vim 7 do ":help debug-win32" to see how.

PC translations   vim##lang.zip    vim72lang.zip (ftp)

Only for 7.2 and earlier, for 7.3 and later these are included in the "rt" archive.

Translated messages and menu files, packed for the PC. Use this to see

non-English menus. The messages are only translated when the libintl.dll

library is installed.

Windows 3.1 GUI executable   gvim##w16.zip and gvim##m16.zip

These are GUI versions for 16 bit windows (Windows 3.1). The "w16" has many

features, "m16" has few features (for when you're short on memory).

The files ending in ".zip" can be unpacked with any unzip program.

Make sure you unpack them all in the same directory!

Alternate distributions

Yongwei's build

You may also try Yongwei's build,

executables with slightly different interfaces supported.

Cream

For an unofficial version that used to include all the latest patches and

optionally a bit

more: Cream.

The "one-click installer" mentioned includes the Cream changes.

For the "real Vim" use the "without Cream" version listed further down.

Unfortunately, it stopped updating since Vim 8.0.

Cygwin

For a Cygwin binary look at others.

Amiga

Quite a long time ago, Vim development started on the Amiga. Although it's a

really old system now, it might still work. However, this has not been tested

recently.

You may have to use an older version for which Amiga binaries are available.

For Vim 5.x and Vim 6 look in

the amiga directory (ftp).

Vim 7 files can be found at

os4depot.net. This is for AmigaOS 4. Made by Peter Bengtsson.Runtime files   vim##rt.tgz    vim64rt.tgz (ftp)

Documentation, syntax files, etc. You always need this.

Executable   vim##bin.tgz    vim64bin.tgz (ftp)

The executables for Vim and Xxd.

For Vim 6 it includes "big" features, for Vim 5.x it

includes the normal features.

For Vim 6.2 it is not available (my Amiga had harddisk problems then, this miraculously healed later).

Big executable   vim##big.tgz

Vim with "big" features and Xxd. Only for Vim 5.x.

Sources   vim##src.tgz    vim64src.tgz (ftp)

The source files for the Amiga.

Only needed when you want to compile Vim yourself.

The files are all tar archives, compressed with gzip. To unpack, first

uncompress them with gzip -d filename. Then unpack with

tar xf filename. You need to unpack the archives in the same

directory.

OS/2

The OS/2 version runs in a console window.

For Vim 5.x and Vim 6 look in

the os2 directory (ftp).

Version 6.2 is not available.

Versions 6.3 and 6.4 were compiled by David Sanders.

Version 7.0 was compiled by David Sanders.Runtime files   vim##rt.zip    vim70rt.zip (ftp)

Documentation, syntax files, etc. You always need this.

Executables   vim##os2.zip    vim70os2.zip (ftp)

Vim, Xxd, Tee and EMX libraries.

The files ending in ".zip" can be unpacked with any unzip program.

Make sure you both zip archives in the same directory!

If you want to compile the OS/2 version, you need the EMX compiler. Use the

Unix source archive, runtime files and the extra archive. After unpacking the

runtime archive, move all the files and directories in the "runtime"

directory one level up.

Macintosh

The terminal version of Vim is included as "vi", you already have it. It's

lagging behind a bit though and has limited features, thus you may want to

additionally install a recent version or one with more features.

MacVim

There most popular version is MacVim. This is being actively developed. This

behaves like a Mac application, using a GUI.

MacVim has more a Mac look and feel, is developed actively and most people

prefer this version. Most of MacVim was made by Björn Winckler.

New versions are made quite often.

Homebrew

This is a terminal version installed with the "brew" command.

It is updated frequently.

It can be downloaded here: formulae.brew.sh/formula/vim.

Older

Older binaries for Mac OS/X can be found on this

SourceForge project.

Background

Most of the work for

the Macintosh port (Classic and Carbon) was done by Dany St-Amant.

If you have OSX and a setup for compiling programs, you can use the source code

and compile yourself. See the Unix section above. The development tools can be

downloaded from Apple's developer web site.

Turn to the vim-mac maillist to meet other

Vim-Mac users.
