一：如过没有~/.vimrc的话，先创建该文件；
二：在文件中写入：
set autoindent
set cindent
set modeline
set ruler
set showcmd
set showfulltag
set showmode
set smartcase
set smartindent
set imcmdline
set previewwindow
set hlsearch
syntax on
set cindent
set modeline
set ruler
set showcmd
set showfulltag
set showmode
set smartcase
set smartindent
set imcmdline
set previewwindow
set hlsearch
syntax on
syntax on这一设置就是语法高亮显示，set autoindent是自动缩进，别的有待进一步查证
三：此时如果没有彩色显示的话
在/etc/profile中写入
export TERM=xterm-color
