Neovim from scratch
Each video will be associated with a branch so checkout the one you are interested in, you can follow along with this playlist.
Try out this config
Make sure to remove or move your current nvim directory
IMPORTANT Requires [Neovim v0.8.0]](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases). Upgrade if you're on an earlier version.
git clone https://github.com/LunarVim/Neovim-from-scratch.git ~/.config/nvim
Run nvim and wait for the plugins to be installed
NOTE (You will notice treesitter pulling in a bunch of parsers the next time you open Neovim)
Get healthy
Open nvim and enter the following:
:checkhealth
You'll probably notice you don't have support for copy/paste also that python and node haven't been setup
So let's fix that
First we'll fix copy/paste
-
On mac
pbcopyshould be builtin -
On Ubuntu
sudo apt install xsel -
On Arch Linux
sudo pacman -S xsel
Next we need to install python support (node is optional)
-
Neovim python support
pip install pynvim -
Neovim node support
npm i -g neovim
NOTE make sure you have node installed, I recommend a node manager like fnm.
Upgrade to latest release
Assuming you built from source, cd into the folder where you cloned neovim and run the following commands.
git pull
make distclean && make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
sudo make install
nvim -v
