install

Windows

1. Download git

2. Download Vim

3. Download vim-plug:

   windows (PowerShell)

   md ~\.vim\autoload
   $uri = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim'
   (New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadFile(
     $uri,
     $ExecutionContext.SessionState.Path.GetUnresolvedProviderPathFromPSPath(
       "~\.vim\autoload\plug.vim"
     )
   )

4. Enter your home directory, Open Git Bash by right-clicking and choosing the option Git Bash Here.

   Run the following commands to download space-vim and make a symlink.

   $ git clone https://github.com/liuchengxu/space-vim.git ~/.space-vim --depth=1
   $ ln -s ~/.space-vim/init.vim ~/.vimrc
   $ cp ~/.space-vim/init.spacevim ~/.spacevim

5. Open GVim, it should install the plugins automaticaly.

Ycmd

YouCompleteMe is such a huge vim plugin that sometimes you have to compile it manually when the auto-installation fails. If you are a Linux or macOS user, it's not hard to install YCM given the shipped install script:

• Enter ~/.vim/plugged/YouCompleteMe.
• Run git submodule update --init --recursive.
• Run ./install.py --clang-completer.
• Actually the network speed is the main reason of failure. So, wait with patience.
