Manual Installation PackagesThese packages assume you already have gVim installed.
Instructions1. Install GVimMake sure GVim (GUI Vim) is installed (version 6.1 is acceptable, but 6.2+ is preferred).

Exit by typing If you compile your own Vim from source, please make sure to use the Some Linux distributions of Vim install a global vimrc (found in the path indicated with the :version command) which may conflict with certain Cream settings. Known problems exist with Debian and Red Hat. (Debian interferes with Cream's mapping of Shift+Insert, Red Hat adds some normal mode mappings.) 2.

(Applies only to upgrades from version 0.20 or prior.) Then, using the downloaded package above appropriate to your system: LinuxAs root, execute the INSTALL.sh bash script. In GNOME 2, you should find an icon added to the Applications menu and a "cream" command added to /usr/bin/.

Then manually create a Desktop icon:
