Ubuntu Linux Install vim Text Editor using apt-get

To install vim on Ubuntu Linux using apt-get, you will need to have root privileges or access to a user with sudo privileges.

1. First, update the package repository by running the following command:

sudo apt update

2. Install vim by running the following command:

sudo apt install vim

3. Once the installation is complete, you can start using vim. To start vim, run the following command:

vim

This will open vim in the terminal. You can use it to edit files or enter command mode by pressing the "Esc" key.

That's it! Vim should now be installed on your Ubuntu Linux system. You can use it as a text editor or a command-line interface for editing text files.

Note: If you want to install a specific version of vim, you can use the "--version" option with the "apt-get" command. For example, to install vim 8.2, you can run the following command:

sudo apt-get install vim=8.2*

Replace "8.2" with the desired version number. You can also use the "apt-cache" command to search for available versions of vim. For example:

apt-cache policy vim

This will show the available versions of vim and the version that is currently installed.
