Clone this repo into your home directory. Such as:

git clone --recursive git://github.com/mmozuras/vimfiles.git ~/.vim

Now you should create a new .vimrc file in your home directory that loads the pre-configured one that comes bundled in this package. You can do it on Linux/Mac like this:

echo "source ~/.vim/vimrc" > ~/.vimrc

This way you can override the default configuration by adding your own inside this file.

To complete installation run bundle/YouCompleteMe/install.sh.

If on OSX vim-dispatch and vim-rspec are not working correctly: consider removing the default /etc/zshenv. It uses /usr/libexec/path_helper which messes up $PATH.
