Note: You do not need to remove vim-minimal because sudo depends on it.
Download vim source (it is better to get it from GitHub because you can get all the latest patches from there):
$ sudo cp -rv vim /usr/local/src/
$ cd /usr/local/src/vim/
Show the configuration options:
$ ./configure --help
Configure:
$ sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-features=huge --enable-multibyte --enable-rubyinterp --enable-pythoninterp --enable-perlinterp --enable-luainterp
Build:
$ sudo make
$ sudo make install
re-hash the environment:
$ hash -r
(make sure you're in the src/vim directory)
Check vim version:
$ vim --version | cat
