@KayDev @thomasdavis same here, I compiled a static vim that works here: https://gist.github.com/dvdbng/7375821b20f189c189ab1bd29392c98e

Does this have to be run as a shellscript? I try each line manually in the terminal and get: vim: error while loading shared libraries: libXt.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Though, @dvdbng's method worked for me.

I made a Heroku cli plugin that will allow one to use vim in a Heroku dyno via a heroku vim command: https://github.com/jasonheecs/heroku-vim
