### SPARC-specific syntax highlighting in Vim
Let's get started! If you haven't already, make a **.vim** folder in your home directory:
```shell
mkdir ~/.vim
cd ~/.vim
```
This is where vim will look for any customizations by default. Next we need a **syntax** folder:
```shell
mkdir syntax
cd syntax
```
This is where vim seeks out custom syntax files and where we'll dump our **sparc.vim**:
```shell
wget --no-check-certificate -O sparc.vim https://raw.githubusercontent.com/milesjos/vim-syntax-files/master/sparc.vim
```
Here we grab the raw_text from a url and store it in the file, **sparc.vim**
Now that we've added our custom syntax file, we can load it in vim whenever we want with a simple:
```vim
set ft=sparc
```
Add these lines to your **~/.vimrc** for automatic syntax highlighting:
```vim
" Enable syntax highlighting
syntax on
" Enable color (in case the server doesn't default to this)
set term=xterm-color
" Automatically load sparc-specific syntax highlighting
autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.s set ft=sparc
autocmd FileType asm set ft=sparc
```
Congratulations, you should be all good to go! The first line simply sets the filetype whenever you open up any **.s** file but this has failed for some users. For that reason, I included the second line to hopefully catch that exception by simply recognizing the filetype by the language's system name.
