setting up vim with latex suite

6,131

Searching a bit on Internet I found that the package is called vim-latexsuite instead of just latexsuite or latex-suite.

So to install it enter the following command in terminal:

sudo apt-get install vim-latexsuite

Once you've installed it, just open a TeX file in Vim. No other setup is required.

    I am trying to setup vim with latex suite. I have installed vim from the terminal prompt

    sudo apt-get install vim
    

    but

    sudo apt-get install latex-suite or latexsuite 
    

    doesn't do anything. What do I do to install the latex-suite? After that, what else needs to be done to get vim going with the suite? I have seen the vim website but the instructions weren't helpful to me since I am new to Linux.

      Could you enter twice the apt command, copy all the output an add it here?

    that helped. Do you know how to set up vim and the latex suite by any chance?

    What do you mean by any chance? Do you want to know how to configure it?

    Dan Hulme added that nothing else needs to be done. Do you know how I can open a file located in my documents folder in vim? Is is :e /Documents/filename?

    @dustin Yes :e is used for opening files. However, you might need to use ~/Documents/filename instead of /Documents/filename.

    @dustin Remember that if you have a new question, you should create it in a separately post. Thanks!
