How to compile a file using vim-latex or vimtex?

Question

How does one compile a .tex file from within vim using either vim-latex or vimtex? In both cases the documentation say to 'do' \ll, but I have no idea what this means. If I press : and then type \ll I get an error (E10: \ should be followed by /, ? or &).

If I just run pdflatex on my .tex file it compiles fine, so it's not a problem with my texlive installation.

Of course I figure this out right after posting my question. If this question is not useful to anyone, maybe it's best to just delete it... – Peter Jul 19 '21 at 01:21
