FVim doesn't publish an install command for Windows anywhere we can verify, so there's nothing for us to show you. We won't invent one. It does document one for macOS and Linux — switch to that tab.

Installs FVim on your macOS or Linux machine and links it into your PATH — after this,
FVim just works from any directory. Runs as your normal user account, and needs no administrator rights.
How to set up FVim, step by step
Open Terminal. On a Mac it's in Applications ▸ Utilities, or press Cmd+Space and type Terminal. On Linux, press Ctrl+Alt+T. Paste the command and press Enter.
Run FVim --help to see the available commands, and
FVim --version to confirm the install worked. If your shell complains about
permissions, that project usually documents a corrected command on its own site.
This asks Homebrew to fetch FVim and link it into /opt/homebrew/bin (Apple Silicon) or /usr/local/bin (Intel), so you can run it by name.
What FVim does
- Built-in support for Nerd font -- no need to patch your fonts!
- Multi-grid support -- try to detach a window into a separate OS window!
- Custom UI elements are themed with settings
- East Asia wide glyph display with font fallback options
- HiDPI support -- try dragging it across two screens with different DPIs;)
- High performance rendering, low latency (60FPS on 4K display with reasonable font size!)

On mobile
FVim is a command-line tool, so there is no phone app for it — a phone has no shell to run it in. You'll need a desktop, or a remote shell into a machine that has one.
FVim is developed by its own authors. This page is an independent reference; we are not affiliated with or sponsored by the project. The command shown here was reproduced from the project's public documentation — always check the project's own documentation before running anything.
