How to Install Latest Version Vim in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Ubuntu comes with Vim-Tiny First of all, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS comes with Vim.Tiny with the version 2:7.4.052-1ubuntu3 which is Vim 7.4.052, already fairly new. Unfortunately I was looking specifically for markdown editing and syntax highlighting and I found that starting from 7.4.480 vim can pick up *.md files as markdown files by default. So I wanted to find a newer version of Vim to install. Install Vim with PPA I have tried to install Vim with debian packages listed on Vim.
