I went to http://www.bleb.org/software/770/#vim and installed vim then i run the long command

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/var/lib/install/usr/lib /var/lib/install/usr/bin/vim

to start it. But how do I just run a short comand like $ vim to get it started?

Usage
As the default PATH does not include /var/lib/install/usr/bin (the Application Installer installs packages under /var/lib/install), the command to start vim is:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/var/lib/install/usr/lib /var/lib/install/usr/bin/vim

This can be improved by adding PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH exports to /home/user/.profile and then typing sh --login after starting the X Terminal.

I have installed VIM i can run the long command
The .profiles file dose not exist, do i create it? How do i format this .profiles file

Help on this will make editing much easier.
