Install vim without sudo access

Sometimes, we would like to install the VIM editor in Linux, but we do not have root or sudo access. In the following, I show the complete commands to install it without root or sudo access. 

a) firstly, we download the vim for github

	git clone https://github.com/vim/vim.git
	cd vim 
	cd src 
	make distclean 
	./configure --prefix=\$HOME/usr/local 

b) Maybe, you will get those error message:

checking for tgetent()... configure: error: NOT FOUND!

we need to install the package ncurses: download the ncurses from http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ncurses/

	wget http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ncurses/ncurses-6.1.tar.gz
	tar -xvf ncurses-6.1.tar.gz
	cd ncurses-6.1
	./configure --prefix=\$HOME/usr/local
	make
	make install 

vi ~/.bashrc add the following line

	export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=\$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:\$HOME/usr/local/lib 
		source ~/.bashrc 

c) locate to previous vim directory and install vim.

	cd xx/xx/vim/
	LDFLAGS=-L\$HOME/usr/local/lib ./configure --prefix=\$HOME/usr/local
	make 
	make install

vi ~/.bashrc add the following line

	export PATH=\$PATH:\$HOME/usr/local/bin 
	alias vi=vim
	source ~/.bashrc 

4) complete! Enjoy it!
