nvim-config

Personal Neovim configuration files

Dependencies

1. win32yank - Only needed to fix some clipboard functionality when using Windows and WSL. Download the zip file and extract it to a WSL Linux directory on the $PATH.

Setup

Clone the repository into Neovim's configuration path (referred to here as $NVIM_CONFIG). This path is usally ~/.config/nvim, but can differ based on the system setup. Open nvim and type echo stdpath("config") to retreive the correct path.

export NVIM_CONFIG="${HOME}/.config/nvim" && \
mkdir -p $NVIM_CONFIG && \
git clone [email protected]:mattmccarty/nvim-config.git $NVIM_CONFIG

Configure

Once the setup is complete, open nvim and install the plugins.

1. Install vim-plug
2. Run :PackerInstall
3. Run :PlugInstall

Packer

Packer is a widely used package manager for Neovim. It has been configured in the Lua files, but the plugins need to be installed by running :PackerInstall.

Vim-plug

Vim-plug is a package manager for Vim. Many Vim plugins can be used with Neovim, so vim-plug has been configured as well. Just like Packer, the install command :PlugInstall needs to be executed when loading nvim for the first time. However, before the command can run, vim-plug must be installed. See their GitHub page for install instructions.
