Vimana
======

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

Vimana provides a command-line interface such like aptitude program on
Debian linux, for you to search, download, install, upgrade scripts from
<http://www.vim.org> (vim online 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. if it is a vim color scheme, then it
should be put into ~/.vim/colors/ and prompt for setting the installed
colorscheme as default.

Rakefile, makefile, vimball installation are supported.

For scripts have their own docs, Vimana will try to update helptags after the
installations.

NOTE: Vimana only provides search, info, and install commmands currently.

INSTALLATION
===============

For First Time CPAN Users:

Install miyagawa's cpanminus , which doesnt require any complex configurations. 
It's easy, clean and faster than the old CPAN shell:

    $ mkdir ~/bin
    $ wget http://xrl.us/cpanm -O ~/bin/cpanm
    $ chmod +x ~/bin/cpanm

Run cpanminus to install Vimana from CPAN:

    $ cpanm -n Vimana

Or git clone from github:

    $ cpanm -n http://github.com/c9s/Vimana/tarball/master

**For non-root permission users**, cpanm will install modules into `~/perl5` directory.
so you will need to export PERL5LIB, add below line in your `.bashrc` or `.zshrc`:

    export PERL5LIB=~/perl5/lib/perl5;$PERL5LIB
