Requirements

• If would be helpful to know a little about the Terminal / Command prompt as we will be using some bery basic Shell commands to navigate our computers. If you don't know any Shell commands that is alright you can simple mimic what I type and that will get you to the important Vim course content.
• If you are using a Windows computer you will need to install a program from the internet, so you will need an internet connection and be able to download and install a program on to your system. If you have trouble with this you may wish to get help with this one step as the rest of the course will be entirely within the Terminal using Vim.
• You you are using a unix based system like a Mac or Linus OS then you should already have Vim installed on your computer.
