How to install vim on CentOS/RHEL 8 using dnf/yum

To install Vim on a CentOS or RHEL 8 system using the dnf package manager, you can use the following command:

sudo dnf install vim

Alternatively, if you are using the yum package manager, you can use the following command:

sudo yum install vim

Both dnf and yum use the same package repositories, so either command will work.

Both commands above will install the latest version of Vim that is available in the default package repositories. If you want to install a specific version of Vim, you can use the -version option with the command.

Once the installation is complete, you can start using Vim by running the command vim in the terminal.

Additionally, you can check the version of vim you have installed by running:

vim --version

This will give you a detailed information about the vim version and the features that are enabled with the package.
