  1. pip install twisted
  2. Add Bundle 'FredKSchott/CoVim' to your ~/.vimrc
  3. vim +BundleInstall +qall

Install Manually:

  2. Add client.vim & server.py to ~/.vim/plugin/

##Usage To start a new CoVim server: :CoVim start [port] [name] (or, from the command line: ./server.py [port])
To connect to a running server: :CoVim connect [host address / 'localhost'] [port] [name]
