To be able to set an environment variable or command for all users on linux, you will have to modify the file:

or

/etc/bash.bashrc

Then add an alias at the top for example:

alias vi=vim

Then save the file. To execute the bashrc file do one of the following:

1. Logout and login again

2. Or you can execute the bashrc into the environment using:

[bash#] . /etc/bashrc
