IMPORTANT NOTE: Tested in macOS

For use this bash it needs run in the $HOME folder and execute this command:

~ sudo chmod +x install_vim.sh

Then:

~ ./install_vim.sh

or:

~ bash install_vim.sh

If pass problems in the instalation can be pass the param "--uninstall" for remove the source folder and the program

~ bash install_vim.sh --uninstall
