Configuring Vim on Mac OS X

vim_basic_config.txt

Verify and create directories:

You’ll need to create directories for the following: backups, colors, swaps and undo.
You can download for example your favorite color schema by vimninjas.com and paste in the relevant scheme file ~/.vim/colors/

$cd ~/.vim; 
$mkdir backups; 
$mkdir colors; 
$mkdir swaps; 
$mkdir undo;

For config you verify or create ~/.vimrc file

For example to set color schema candy:
1. Download you schema by vimninjas.com 
2. Copy and paste the code into ~/.vim/colors/
3. In your file ~/.vimrc write -> colorscheme candy
4. Its done.
