Vi/Vim Indentation

Hello, I installed vim, and use command "vi", I don't like the default indentation but I don't know how to change it.
I want to use spaces instead of tab, and 4 spaces instead of 8-spaces tab, also I don't want indentation.
How to I configure it?

Re: Vi/Vim Indentation

set expandtab           " insert spaces instead of tab chars
set tabstop=4           " a n-space tab width
