How to configure vimdiff

Question

I am getting error when I use vimdiff command.

E91: 'shell' option is empty

Is there any configuration I have to do in order to user this command like setting DISPLAY? Can someone please help me?

You'll get the answer by typing:

:help E91

Vim is very well documented. You can generally find answers using :help or :helpgrep.

Try setting the shell option. I have

:set shell=/bin/bash
