Add to the environment variables
This installation of the system can not automatically find vim, we need to tell the system where it is, we need to add environment variables.
Here python3-config-dir need to specify your own directory for /usr/lib*/python3.*/config*.
If you are using bash, modify ~/.bashrc, add the line:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/vim/bin
