+How to Install Latest Vim 9.0 on Ubuntu Based Linux Distributions
+======
+Brief: This quick tutorial shows the steps for installing the latest version of Vim on Ubuntu Linux.
+
+Vim is one of the most [popular terminal-based text editors][1]. However, it is not installed by default on Ubuntu.
+
+Ubuntu uses Nano as the default terminal editor. Nano is also an excellent tool and I am not going into [Nano vs Vim debate][2].
+
+If you have already spent some time mastering the Vim shortcuts, you don’t have to forget them and start using a new editor.
+
+You can install Vim on Ubuntu using the following command in the terminal:
+
+```
+sudo apt install vim
+```
+
+That’s quite simple, right? This approach’s major problem is that you won’t get the latest Vim version.
+
+You can check the installed Vim version with the following command:
+
+```
+vim --version
+```
+
+And if you check the [Vim website][3], you’ll find that Vim has newer versions released already.
+
+At the time of writing this article, [Vim 9.0 is released][4] but is not available in Ubuntu repositories yet.
+
+The good news is that you can install the latest Vim using an [unofficial but actively maintained PPA][5].
+
+### Install Vim 9 on Ubuntu using a PPA
+
+If you have specific Vim configuration files, there is no harm in making a backup for them.
+
+Now, to install the latest Vim version, add the PPA repository first:
+
+```
+sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/vim
+```
+
+![Adding the PPA to get the latest Vim version][6]
+
+You don’t need to update the package cache on Ubuntu but other distributions like Mint may still require it:
+
+```
+sudo apt update
+```
+
+Now, use the command below to install the latest Vim version offered by the PPA:
+
+```
+sudo apt install vim
+```
+
+If you had already an older Vim version installed, it would be upgraded. You can check the installed Vim version using:
+
+```
+vim --version
+```
+
+![Checking installed Vim version][7]
+
+This is a very well-maintained PPA and is available for all active Ubuntu versions.
+
+If you are new to this PPA thing, I have a detailed guide on this topic. You should read to learn more about the [concept of PPA in Ubuntu][8].
+
+### Downgrade or remove it
+
+If you want to go back to the older Vim version provided by Ubuntu, you should remove the existing version, remove the PPA and install it again.
+
+Before removing Vim, you should copy the vimrc or other such config file if you had made custom changes and plan to use Vim again.
+
+Alright. Open a terminal and use the following command:
+
+```
+sudo apt remove vim
+```
+
+Now delete the PPA otherwise you’ll get the latest Vim again (if you try installing Vim for the older version):
+
+```
+sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:jonathonf/vim
+```
+
+Now, if you want the old, official Ubuntu version of Vim, just install it again [using the apt command][9].
+
+Enjoy Vim on Ubuntu.
