Install the Vim 8.0 and YouCompleteMe with Make on CentOS 7.3

As a vimmer, I want to complete and install the Vim 7.4.1578+ at ~/.local , so than I can use the YouCompleteMe plugin on CentOS 7.3.

▲ The Vim 8.0.1522 on CentOS 7.3.1611.

Install the Vim 8.0 with Make

1. Install the necessary package.

[ jonny@centos7 ~ ]
$ sudo yum install gcc-c++ ncurses-devel python-devel

2. Get the source code of Vim.

[ jonny@centos7 ~ ]
$ git clone https://github.com/vim/vim.git

3. Go to build directory.

[ jonny@centos7 ~ ]
$ cd vim/src && git checkout v8.0.1522
# Use the version like my MacVim.

4. Configure it !

[ jonny@centos7 ~/vim/src ]
$ ./configure \
    --disable-nls \
    --enable-cscope \
    --enable-gui=no \
    --enable-multibyte \
    --enable-pythoninterp \
    --enable-rubyinterp \
    --prefix=/home/jonny/.local/vim \
    --with-features=huge \
    --with-python-config-dir=/usr/lib/python2.7/config \
    --with-tlib=ncurses \
    --without-x

• --prefix: For local user, not effect other users.
• --with-python-config-dir: For support the YouCompleteMe plugin.
• I remove --enable-perlinterp args, because it will build fail, and I don't need write the perl script.

5. Compile and install the Vim.

[ jonny@centos7 ~/vim/src ]
$ make && make install

6. Add ~/.local/vim/bin into $PATH.

[ jonny@centos7 ~/vim/src ]
$ vim ~/.bashrc
...

if [ -d "$HOME/.local/vim/bin/" ] ; then
    PATH="$HOME/.local/vim/bin/:$PATH"
fi

7. Reload the bashrc.

[ jonny@centos7 ~/vim/src ]
$ source ~/.bashrc

Install the YouCompleteMe plugin

1. Install the necessary package.

[ jonny@centos7 ~ ]
$ sudo yum install gcc-c++ cmake python-devel

2. Get the YouCompleteMe plugin.

[ jonny@centos7 ~ ]
$ mkdir ~/.vim/bundle && \
    git clone https://github.com/Valloric/YouCompleteMe.git \
   ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe

3. Compile and install the YouCompleteMe.

[ jonny@centos7 ~ ]
$ cd ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe && python ./install.py

Enjoy it.

By the way, I use the dein.vim to manage my vim plugins, you can see more detail at https://github.com/chusiang/vimrc .
