trisquel mini - how to get a full version of vim

Hi,
I am on trisquel mini
Is there a way to get vim's full installation on trisquel mini?

My current :version from within vim:

:version

system vimrc file: "$VIM/vimrc"
user vimrc file: "$HOME/.vimrc"
user exrc file: "$HOME/.exrc"
fall-back for $VIM: "/usr/share/vim"
Compilation: gcc -c -I. -Iproto -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -Wall -g -O2 -DTINY_VIMRC -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=1
Linking: gcc -Wl,--as-needed -o vim -lm -lncurses -lselinux

Reason for me asking this question is that -syntax... I believe that syntax highlighting should be available but isn't, so I am trying to get my installation with syntax highlighting of plain text. I tried to state
syntax enable
in my .vimrc, no go.. in fact above statement yields an error message on vim's startup

Please let me know your thoughts

Thanks,
