Unable to install Vim

[optixlab]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Vim is a go-to IDE option for quickly parsing through files & making edits. However, the default sagemaker environment does not include it.

Describe the solution you'd like An option to use sudo (right now gives permission denied error) or vim / neovim pre-installed in the default environment

Describe alternatives you've considered Working with .py and other text files using the Jupyter notebook interface

Thanks for trying out SageMaker Studio Lab. Currently we only support package installations via pip and conda. We have the added other options in future releases. As a workaround you can use nano to edit files .py files from the terminal.

Good callout, we should provide vim installed by default.
