If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/macvim
%  sudo port install macvim  
Password: 

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching macvim
--->  Verifying checksum for macvim
--->  Extracting macvim
--->  Configuring macvim
--->  Building macvim with target all

--->  Staging macvim into destroot

--->  Installing macvim

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using macvim with these commands:

%  man macvim
%  apropos macvim
%  which macvim
%  locate macvim
