In your terminal type:

$ cd
$ ls -a

If you have a .vimrc, you should see it listed there.

If it's there type:

$ vim ~/.vimrc

If it isn't there, you can type the same thing and it will be created as a temp file. You'll need to save it :w for it to remain.

$ represents your prompt. Don't include that in your terminal commands.
