Neovim setup

I made this dumb tutorial 'cause I forget every time I need to do this shit 💩

Pre-requisits

Neovim 0.9.5.
Nerd Font as your terminal font.
- Make sure the nerd font you set doesn't end with Mono to prevent small icons.
- Example : JetbrainsMono Nerd Font and not JetbrainsMono Nerd Font Mono
Ripgrep is required for grep searching with Telescope (OPTIONAL).
GCC compiler.
Make.
Delete old neovim folders (checks the command below)

# Linux
rm -rf ~/.config/nvim

Install

I use Linux btw and these steps below are only for linux users.

Neovim

Installing the latest neovim version using AppImage on Linux:

curl -LO https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/latest/download/nvim.appimage
chmod u+x nvim.appimage
./nvim.appimage

If the ./nvim.appimage command fails, try:

./nvim.appimage --appimage-extract
./squashfs-root/AppRun --version

Optional: exposing nvim globally.

sudo mv squashfs-root / && ln -s /squashfs-root/AppRun /usr/bin/nvim && nvim

NvChad pre-requisites

Ripgrep is required for grep searching with Telescope

sudo apt install ripgrep gcc make

Nerd Fonts

Installing Meslo font from nerd fonts:

sudo apt install wget fontconfig \
&& wget -P ~/.local/share/fonts https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/latest/download/Meslo.zip \
&& cd ~/.local/share/fonts && unzip Meslo.zip && rm -rf README.md && rm -rf LICENSE.txt && rm -rf Meslo.zip && fc-cache -fv

My configs

git clone git@github.com:d4niells/neovim-config.git ~/.config/nvim && nvim

Run :MasonInstallAll command after lazy.nvim finishes downloading plugins.
Delete the .git folder from nvim folder or change the git remote if you aren't me, because I'm not interesting in your changes.
Don't forget to set the "MesloLGM Nerd Font" font on your linux terminal.
