Ran into a few difficulties whilst installing Vim on my AWS Linux AMI (E.g. an error saying "checking for tgetent() vim aws linux" and another carrying on about missing ncurses-devel. Documenting the process here for reference.

Setting up VIM on AWS Linux AMI.md

Vim

(Use Git to compile VIM, not that hard once you have these two in place:)

$ sudo yum update -y
$ sudo yum group install "Development Tools"
$ sudo yum install ncurses-devel

$ git clone https://github.com/vim/vim.git
$ cd vim/src
$ sudo make install
