There are a few different ways to enable Syntax Highlighting in Vim.
Option 1 – Edit ~/.vimrc
Add syntax on to your local ~/.vimrc
echo "syntax on" >> ~/.vimrc
Option 2 – Override System Vim (Mac)
cd
vim --version
xcode-select --install
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew doctor
brew install vim --override-system-vim
vim --version
Option 3 – Toggle in Vim
You can use Vim Commands while in Vim itself:
:syntax on
