- Install luarocks
git clone <dot-vim> ~/.config/nvim- Install neovim, at least version 0.10.0.
- Run
nvimthen:checkhealthto ensure things installed successfully - See additional things to potentially install in the following sections:
Previously, I used to use Paq to manage my
neovim plugins. If you are updating from one of my configurations that is using
Paq you will need to delete Paq so it doesn't interfere with LazyVim. LazyVim
will flag this in the output of :checkhealth along with the path Paq is being
loaded from if you've forgotten where it's installed.
I use Chris Simpkins' Hack font on a black background with darkish grey text. If you don't want to go through the effort of installing a custom font, I at least recommend using a monospaced font. Bitstream Vera Mono is a great choice and is present on most systems by default.
Lualine is used to provide extra statusline features. You'll need a suitable "nerd font" from Nerd Fonts installed for the various symbols to display correctly.
LazyVim is setup to lazy load
Telescope on demand when
using the Telescope command.
You will need to optionally install
ripgrep and
fd to use the live_grep and find_files
commands.
There are several linters configured out of the box via nvim-lint that you will need to install the actual linting programs for. See nvim-lint.lua for the list along with the commands commonly used to install them.
LSP configuration is provided by nvim-lspconfig and is setup by default to look for an LSP when editing C, C++, or Rust. You will need to install clangd and rust-analyzer.
nvim-colorizer is setup to be
lazy loaded via the ColorizerAttachToBuffer command.
Most highlighting is done via
nvim-treesitter.
Treesitter modules are automatically kept to date by LazyVim. There are two
additional plugins to provide highlighting for Jenkinfiles and jinja2
templates:
