Setting up vim

I tried to improve vim, but I have a problem with the vimrc file. I get an error when adding the syntax on line:
Sorry, the command is not available in this version: syntax on. I’m wondering what else can’t be configured and why this was done?

“vim --version” will let you know what’s not configured.

The answer to the “why” question is that the package installed is vim-tiny, which does not have the syntax mode built in.

Thank you for your response

This is understandable. Is it possible to upgrade to a full-fledged vim?

You can, if you are willing to take on the responsibilities that go with developer mode.

Details here:

Make sure you note the caveat mentioned there that you will not be able to receive support on any issues submitted to iXsystems once you’ve activated developer mode.
