How to install vim editor in Linux (Ubuntu 18.04)

You can go to the Ubuntu official website to download the desktop system: https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop. Although the latest version is 19.04, it is recommended that you download the stable version 18.04. The installation process is very simple. I use VMware Workstation Pro virtual machine, but you can also use other virtual machines. It doesn’t matter.

Ubuntu 18.04 is still much more comfortable to use than the old version. After all, I have been doing Windows development for so long, and I am still a little uncomfortable with Linux all of a sudden. However, some operating habits of the new version of Ubuntu are already very close to Windows. After all, the development direction of technology is always towards fool-proof operation. Without further ado, here are the main topics:

Open the terminal interface, the first one on the left taskbar is it.

Then type vi in ​​the command line and press the "tab" key. You can see that vi has been installed, but vim has not been installed.

1. Ubuntu system: Enter the command as a normal user: sudo apt-get install vim-gtk ( Note: If E: Unable to locate package appears, change the command to sudo apt-get install vim-nox )

When you encounter this, enter Y (not case sensitive).

Finally, the following sentence appears, indicating that the installation is successful. Type vi in ​​the command line again and press the "tab" key to see that vim has been installed.
