vimrc

Method 1. Add cscope to vim using plug-in

apt-get install vim
apt-get install cscope
mkdir ~/.vim/plugins
cd ~/.vim/plugins
wget http://cscope.sourceforge.net/cscope_maps.vim
echo "source ~/.vim/plugins/cscope_maps.vim" >> ~/.vimrc

Method 2. Copy vimrc to ~/.vimrc :)

apt-get install vim
apt-get install cscope

Simple as that :)

Final step

Copy script gentags to $PATH or to /usr/bin/ so you can have global access.

add plugins with new vim 8 package manager

Plugin 1. Add Syntastic and Swift.vim

First, you need to be familiar with the new update from vim 8. Read the :help packages in vim.

vim # open vim from terminal 
:help packages

As seen in :help packages, everyting that is in the 'start' folder will automatically run when vim is opened.

mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/bundle/start # use '-p' to create intermediate directories

Install Syntastic and Swift.vim

cd !$ # go to ~/.vim/pack/bundle/start
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/vim-syntastic/syntastic.git
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/keith/swift.vim

Copy the recommended settings into your vimrc file [1].

set statusline+=%#warningmsg#
set statusline+=%{SyntasticStatuslineFlag()}
set statusline+=%*

let g:syntastic_always_populate_loc_list = 1
let g:syntastic_auto_loc_list = 1
let g:syntastic_check_on_open = 1
let g:syntastic_check_on_wq = 0

You're good to go!
