Add install instruction for plain Vim 8 #1042
Conversation
|
I would rather not have all those different ways of installing jedi-vim. I would probably just recommend https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug and remove the other options. @blueyed can decide. |

Yeah, having all the different options of installment are a recurring issue with READMEs across (Neo)Vim plugins. Here however it is a nuisance that submodules are used, which are not handled with every package manager, or when using no package manager at all. I agree in general that the README section should be revisited probably, and that it should contain instructions for Vim and NeoVim, which both have support for packages (which this change is about apparently), and then maybe vim-plug as an example for a plugin manager. |

Thanks for attacking this.
I think it should get revisited, and could do so myself based on the given feedback, but feel free to either do it yourself, or pick it up (@davidhalter).
| The first thing you need after that is an up-to-date version of Jedi. Install | ||
| ``git submodule update --init --recursive`` in your jedi-vim repository. | ||
| mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/git-plugins/start | ||
| git clone --recursive https://github.com/davidhalter/jedi-vim.git ~/.vim/pack/git-plugins/start/jedi-vim |

btw: do you know if there is a preferred/recommended way to update Vim packages?

@abitrolly do you know? How do you keep them updated?
(as for me: I am using vim-plug basically, but given the amount of local changes I still update them manually in general, i.e. by updating/merging into the Git checkout)

I update with plain git.
git -C ~/.vim/pack/git-plugins/start/jedi-vim --rebase pull
| git clone --recursive https://github.com/davidhalter/jedi-vim.git ~/.vim/pack/git-plugins/start/jedi-vim | ||

| Or you might want to use `pathogen <https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen>`_ or | ||
| `Vundle <https://github.com/gmarik/vundle>`_ to install jedi-vim. |

We can merge this with the rest to only include instructions for vim-plug then.

@abitrolly what do you think? Should I/we go ahead and do so here?

I am not a user of vim plugin managers, so won't rely on my opinion towards them.
