XSERVER is one of the most popular hosting service in Japan.
It is possible to connect to the server via ssh, but Vim is not installed.
I often work with Vim on the server, so I installed Vim using the following steps:
Step1: Install ncurses
mkdir ~/opt && cd $_
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ncurses/ncurses-6.1.tar.gz
tar zxfv ncurses-6.1.tar.gz
cd ncurses-6.1
./configure --prefix=$HOME/local
make
make install
Step2: Install Vim
cd ~/opt
git clone https://github.com/vim/vim.git
cd vim
./configure --with-features=huge --enable-fail-if-missing --prefix=$HOME/local --with-local-dir=$HOME/local
make
make install
Step3: Setting environment
vi ~/.bashrc
# Add alias to .bashrc
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/local/bin
alias vi='vim'
Reload .bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
Now you can use the vim command.
Have a great day👍
