DIY On Your Local Ubuntu

sudo apt update
sudo apt install software-properties-common
sudo apt-add-repository --yes --update ppa:ansible/ansible
sudo apt install ansible
sudo apt install git
mkdir vim_DIY
cd vim_DIY
git clone https://github.com/DevopsishFriends/DevopsishVim.git
cat >> DIY.yml <<EOF
- name: vim role
  hosts: 127.0.0.1
  connection: local
  roles:
    - role: DevopsishVim
EOF

If you want to just have vimrc and all plugins on your pre-installed vim :

ansible-playbook -t vimrc -e ansible_python_interpreter=$(which python3)  --ask-become-pass DIY.yml
vim -c ":PlugInstall" 

But if you also like to compile and install Vim from the source run this command instead of the previous one:

ansible-playbook -e ansible_python_interpreter=$(which python3)  --ask-become-pass DIY.yml

ToDo

• Do not let Ansible clone the VIM source if the latest version is already cloned
