how can I check which version of vim I have installed?
I'm running Mac OS X Snow Leopard. How can I check which version of vim I have installed?
Ideally I'd like to know a general solution for checking software versions via the command line.
Solution 1:
The command:
vim --version
This is pretty standard for all unix executables.
Solution 2:
or, just if you run vim already and want to know what you are in right now:
:version
Solution 3:
In a terminal run vim --version ther version number is in the top line of output.
