Configuration for vim

mkdir ~/.vim/colors
ln $HOME/.vim/bundle/Wombat/colors/wombat.vim $HOME/.vim/colors/wombat.vim

Update bash

GNU bash, version 3.2.57(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin14) to GNU bash, versión 4.3.42(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin14.5.0) brew install bash

Install python 3.5

brew install python3

if you have another version of vim brew uninstall vim; brew unlink vim ; brew prune or macvim brew uninstall macvim; brew unlink macvim ; brew prune

Update vim or macvim versions to the lastest

# vim instrucctons
brew install vim --with-python3 --without-python # [issue](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/issues/20327)
brew link vim

# macvim instructions
brew install macvim  --with-override-system-vim --with-unicode3 --with-python3 --without-python 
brew link macvim

Note In both cases you will need reload the session, open a new window (iTerm, Terminal, etc.)

Configure iTerm2 to use Terminus for Powerline,

First Open a new session and choose preference tab Go to Profile -> Text -> Change Font -> Choose [Terminus for Powerline]

Note: In both cases Regular Font and Non-ASCII Font, choose the same font, I suggest uses 14px of size

If you prefer another font. powerfont project and tool for patching fontpatcher

The fast guide to patch a font (more details, check the projects)

mkdir -p $HOME/.local/tmp
cd $HOME/.local/tmp
git clone https://github.com/Lokaltog/vim-powerline

brew uninstall fontforge # if you install as brew install fontforge you need to uninstall and reinstall
brew update
brew install --use-gcc fontforge

patching a font fontforge -script /path/to/fontpatcher MyFontFile.ttf

In my case i will patch a font before installed, Terminus-1.ttf located on $HOME/Library/Fonts

cd $HOME/Library/Fonts
fontforge -script $HOME/.local/tmp/vim-powerline/fontpatcher/fontpatcher Terminus-1.ttf

I got Terminus-1-Powerline.ttf after running the previous command, or whatever you patch, you only need change the font in your iTerm2, or in .vimrc the variable guifont to display in macvim, remember if your font look like this Font OtherStuff for Powerline

So the variable guifont can look like this set guifont=Font\ OtherStuff\ for\ Powerline:h14 where h14 is the font size in this case 14px.
