'''Evil''' is an '''e'''xtensible '''vi''' '''l'''ayer for Emacs. It provides Vim features like Visual selection and text objects, and is the successor to [[Vimpulse]] and [VimMode vim-mode].
 
 
 
== Quick install ==
 
 
 
Using [[el-get]], Evil can be downloaded and installed with: ##M-x el-get-install RET evil RET##.
 
 
 
== Download ==
 
 
 
Alternatively, Evil lives in a Git repository. To download Evil, do:
 
 
 
git clone git://gitorious.org/evil/evil.git
 
 
 
If you don't have Git, just head over to [https://gitorious.org/evil/evil/commits/master Gitorious] and click the ''"Download master as tar.gz"'' link (extract with ##tar -xzf master.tar.gz##).
 
 
 
== Install ==
 
 
 
Move Evil to ~/.emacs.d/evil (or somewhere else in your ##load-path##). Then add the following lines to ~/.emacs:
 
 
 
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/evil")
 
(require 'evil)
 
(evil-mode 1)
 
 
 
Evil requires [UndoTree undo-tree.el] in the load-path for linear undo and undo branches. Otherwise, Evil uses regular Emacs undo.
 
 
 
== Documentation ==
 
 
 
A brief [https://gitorious.org/evil/evil/blobs/raw/doc/doc/evil.pdf PDF manual] is available in the /doc subdirectory.
