Vimana::Manual - Getting started

INTRODUCTION

Vimana is an easy to use system for searching , installing, and downloading vim script.

Vimana provides a command-line interface such like aptitude programe on Debian linux, for you to search , download , install , upgrade scripts from http://www.vim.org (vimonline site).

Vimana can install a vim script package to your vim runtime path automatically by inspecting the content of archive file or vim script. For example , if an archive file contains 'syntax','plugin','indent' directory , then these files should be installed to ~/.vim/ directory (default vim runtime directory). if it's a vim color scheme , then it should be put into ~/.vim/colors/, or Vimana will inspect the script type tag in script file.
