Using plugins globally #175

Closed ghost closed 8 years ago

ghost commented 8 years ago

I've installed some plugins via pathogen. Install pathogen: mkdir -p ~/.vim/autoload ~/.vim/bundle && \ curl -LSso ~/.vim/autoload/pathogen.vim https://tpo.pe/pathogen.vim

Install syntastic as pathogen bundle: cd ~/.vim/bundle && git clone https://github.com/scrooloose/syntastic.git

At this point it's in ~/.vim directory of my root user. I'd like to install this plugin to be globally available for all users on the box, but I'm having trouble finding out how to go about doing it. All the instructions seem to talk about installing plugins under $HOME/.vim or in my case under ~/.vim. What have I to do that all user can use the plugins out of the box?

I am using centos 7

/usr/share/vim/vimfiles will work for most setups.

For those of us that need a little hand-holding: ~/.vim/ becomes /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/

mkdir -p /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/autoload /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/bundle && \
curl -LSso /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/autoload/pathogen.vim https://tpo.pe/pathogen.vim

pushd /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/bundle
git clone git://github.com/tpope/vim-sensible.git
git clone https://github.com/scrooloose/syntastic.git
popd
