VIM Syntax Highlighting for Scala: A Bash One-Liner

Just for posterity, here is a Bash one-liner to download the VIM plugins to handle syntax highlighting for Scala: 

mkdir -p ~/.vim/{ftdetect,indent,syntax} && for d in ftdetect indent syntax ; do wget --no-check-certificate -O ~/.vim/$d/scala.vim https://raw.githubusercontent.com/derekwyatt/vim-scala/master/syntax/scala.vim; done
Update

Here is a solution using cURL submitted by Joe: 
mkdir -p ~/.vim/{ftdetect,indent,syntax} && for d in ftdetect indent syntax ; do curl -o ~/.vim/$d/scala.vim https://raw.githubusercontent.com/derekwyatt/vim-scala/master/syntax/scala.vim; done

    Substituting cURL:

    mkdir -p ~/.vim/{ftdetect,indent,syntax} && for d in ftdetect indent syntax ; do curl -o ~/.vim/$d/scala.vim https://raw.github.com/scala/scala-dist/master/tool-support/src/vim/$d/scala.vim; done

    I can use the 5 minutes I gained getting Scala syntax highlighting from this post to tell you how much I like it :). But seriously, thanks! I know I'll use it again on some other machine ... somewhere.

    Thanks, that saved me a lot of time! I had to change the url to `https://raw.githubusercontent.com` to actually be able to download the files (I'm guessing that Github changed it recently, in which case you might want to update it in your post as well)

    updated url:

    mkdir -p ~/.vim/{ftdetect,indent,syntax} && for d in ftdetect indent syntax ; do curl -o ~/.vim/$d/scala.vim https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scala/scala-dist/master/tool-support/src/vim/$d/scala.vim; done

    This is a quick way, but Vundle or Pathogen would be a better approach.

    If you are interested I recently wrote an article about programming Scala in Vim - http://lauris.github.io/vim/2014/08/21/scala-in-vim/

    I used the above bash command on my MacBook pro terminal and it executed successfully. After that, $vi test.scala and types a few scala statements but I do not see the syntax highlighted. Am I missing something?

      Do you have syntax highlighting enabled in Vim? Did you manually check for the correct directories and files after running the command? (~/.vim/ftdetect/ ~/.vim/indent and ~/.vim/syntax)

    Thanks Bruce. I did check for these directories. But it works now.

    It no longer works. Here is an update:

    mkdir -p ~/.vim/{ftdetect,indent,syntax} && for d in ftdetect indent syntax ; do wget --no-check-certificate -O ~/.vim/$d/scala.vim https://raw.githubusercontent.com/derekwyatt/vim-scala/master/syntax/scala.vim; done
