Hi and Welcome !
Vi is just a text editor and it has nothing to do with Software installation.
Check this tutorial on How to install Softwares in Linux.
Dapper Drake is too old and I would suggest you to install latest version, Ubuntu Gutsy, 7.10.It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

Welcome to the forums!
Check the link provided by casper for installing software under Linux. Check this site for learning the command line options under Linux:

I don't think you can install software using vi, but you can edit files with it.
Best of luck with your Linux experience.oz
