# TextMate Support for the Vala Programming Language

This bundle provides [Vala](http://live.gnome.org/Vala) syntax highlighting, code completion, etc. for the 
TextMate text editor.

# Installing the TextMate Bundle

    mkdir -p ~/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Bundles
    cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Bundles
    git clone git://github.com/technosophos/Vala-TMBundle.git "Vala.tmbundle"

# Getting Vala on the Mac

The easiest way to get Vala on the Mac is to use Homebrew and run
the following:

LibGee is strongly suggested:

    $ brew install libgee

This will install all you need to begin working with Vala.
