These are the default instructions using Vim 8's |packages|
feature. See sections below, if you use other plugin managers.
- Create theme folder (in case you don't have it yet):
\*nix
:
# vim 8.2+
mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/themes/start
# vim 8.0
mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/themes/opt
- Windows: create directory
$HOME\vimfiles\pack\themes\start
or$HOME\vimfiles\pack\themes\opt
, according to your version.
- Navigate to the folder above:
\*nix
:
# vim 8.2+
cd ~/.vim/pack/themes/start
# vim 8.0
cd ~/.vim/pack/themes/opt
- Windows: navigate to the directory you created earlier
- Clone the repository using the "dracula" name:
git clone https://github.com/dracula/vim.git dracula
(Or use your favorite GUI client, or download the ZIP)
- Edit your
vimrc
file with the following content:
if v:version < 802
packadd! dracula
endif
syntax enable
colorscheme dracula
The location of the vimrc
varies between platforms:
\*nix
:~/.vim/vimrc
or~/.vimrc
- Windows:
$HOME\vimfiles\vimrc
or$HOME\_vimrc
- If you use vim + pathogen + submodules:
Navigate to your vim directory (\*nix
: ~/.vim
; Windows: $HOME\vimfiles
)
git submodule add [email protected]:dracula/vim.git bundle/dracula
Place colorscheme dracula
after execute pathogen#infect()
.
- If you use vim + vundle:
Plugin 'dracula/vim', { 'name': 'dracula' }
:PluginInstall
Place colorscheme dracula
after call vundle#end()
.
- If you use vim-plug (`as` will install the plugin in a directory called 'dracula' instead of just 'vim'):
Plug 'dracula/vim', { 'as': 'dracula' }
:PlugInstall
Place colorscheme dracula
after call plug#end()
.
- If you use spacevim, put the
following in
~/.SpaceVim.d/init.toml
:
[options]
colorscheme = "dracula"
colorscheme_bg = "dark"
[[custom_plugins]]
repo = "dracula/vim"
name = "dracula"
merged = false
Note that dracula must be in your 'runtimepath'
to load properly: Version 2.0
introduced autoload functionality for part of the plugin, which doesn't work
without 'runtimepath'
properly set. Consult your plugin-managers documentation
to make sure you put dracula on the 'runtimepath'
before loading it. For
|packages|
, versions 8.2 and later will autoload start
packages
correctly even in your vimrc.
