 Download the `open-in-editor` file from this repo and make it executable.
 
 Ensure that one of the environment variables `OPEN_IN_EDITOR` or `EDITOR` contains a path to an executable that `open-in-editor` is going to recognize. This environment variable must be set system-wide, not just in your shell process. For example, in MacOS, one does this with `launchctl setenv EDITOR /path/to/my/editor/executable`.
+To support terminal editors like `vim` ensure that environment variables `TERMINAL` is set to the path of the terminal executable that will open the editor.
