it's ignored in the kickstart repo to make maintenance easier, but it's\n[recommended to track it in version control](https://lazy.folke.io/usage/lockfile).\n\n#### Clone kickstart.nvim\n\n\u003e [!NOTE]\n\u003e If following the recommended step above (i.e., forking the repo), replace\n\u003e `nvim-lua` with `\u003cyour_github_username\u003e` in the commands below\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003e Linux and Mac \u003c/summary\u003e\n\n```sh\ngit clone https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim.git \"${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}\"/nvim\n```\n\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003e Windows \u003c/summary\u003e\n\nIf you're using `cmd.exe`:\n\n```\ngit clone https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim.git \"%localappdata%\\nvim\"\n```\n\nIf you're using `powershell.exe`\n\n```\ngit clone https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim.git \"${env:LOCALAPPDATA}\\nvim\"\n```\n\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\n### Post Installation\n\nStart Neovim\n\n```sh\nnvim\n```\n\nThat's it! Lazy will install all the plugins you have. Use `:Lazy` to view\nthe current plugin status. Hit `q` to close the window.\n\n#### Read The Friendly Documentation\n\nRead through the `init.lua` file in your configuration folder for more\ninformation about extending and exploring Neovim. That also includes\nexamples of adding popularly requested plugins.\n\n\u003e [!NOTE]\n\u003e For more information about a particular plugin check its repository's documentation.\n\n\n### Getting Started\n\n[The Only Video You Need to Get Started with Neovim](https://youtu.be/m8C0Cq9Uv9o)\n\n### FAQ\n\n* What should I do if I already have a pre-existing Neovim configuration?\n  * You should back it up and then delete all associated files.\n  * This includes your existing init.lua and the Neovim files in `~/.local`\n    which can be deleted with `rm -rf ~/.local/share/nvim/`\n* Can I keep my existing configuration in parallel to kickstart?\n  * Yes! You can use [NVIM_APPNAME](https://neovim.io/doc/user/starting.html#%24NVIM_APPNAME)`=nvim-NAME`\n    to maintain multiple configurations. For example, you can install the kickstart\n    configuration in `~/.config/nvim-kickstart` and create an alias:\n    ```\n    alias nvim-kickstart='NVIM_APPNAME=\"nvim-kickstart\" nvim'\n    ```\n    When you run Neovim using `nvim-kickstart` alias it will use the alternative\n    config directory and the matching local directory\n    `~/.local/share/nvim-kickstart`. You can apply this approach to any Neovim\n    distribution that you would like to try out.\n* What if I want to \"uninstall\" this configuration:\n  * See [lazy.nvim uninstall](https://lazy.folke.io/usage#-uninstalling) information\n* Why is the kickstart `init.lua` a single file? Wouldn't it make sense to split it into multiple files?\n  * The main purpose of kickstart is to serve as a teaching tool and a reference\n    configuration that someone can easily use to `git clone` as a basis for their own.\n    As you progress in learning Neovim and Lua, you might consider splitting `init.lua`\n    into smaller parts. A fork of kickstart that does this while maintaining the\n    same functionality is available here:\n    * [kickstart-modular.nvim](https://github.com/dam9000/kickstart-modular.nvim)\n  * Discussions on this topic can be found here:\n    * [Restructure the configuration](https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim/issues/218)\n    * [Reorganize init.lua into a multi-file setup](https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim/pull/473)\n\n### Install Recipes\n\nBelow you can find OS specific install instructions for Neovim and dependencies.\n\nAfter installing all the dependencies continue with the [Install Kickstart](#Install-Kickstart) step.\n\n#### Windows Installation\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWindows with Microsoft C++ Build Tools and CMake\u003c/summary\u003e\nInstallation may require installing build tools and updating the run command for `telescope-fzf-native`\n\nSee `telescope-fzf-native` documentation for [more details](https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim#installation)\n\nThis requires:\n\n- Install CMake and the Microsoft C++ Build Tools on Windows\n\n```lua\n{'nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim', build = 'cmake -S. -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \u0026\u0026 cmake --build build --config Release \u0026\u0026 cmake --install build --prefix build' }\n```\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWindows with gcc/make using chocolatey\u003c/summary\u003e\nAlternatively, one can install gcc and make which don't require changing the config,\nthe easiest way is to use choco:\n\n1. install [chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/install)\neither follow the instructions on the page or use winget,\nrun in cmd as **admin**:\n```\nwinget install --accept-source-agreements chocolatey.chocolatey\n```\n\n2. install all requirements using choco, exit the previous cmd and\nopen a new one so that choco path is set, and run in cmd as **admin**:\n```\nchoco install -y neovim git ripgrep wget fd unzip gzip mingw make\n```\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)\u003c/summary\u003e\n\n```\nwsl --install\nwsl\nsudo add-apt-repository ppa:neovim-ppa/unstable -y\nsudo apt update\nsudo apt install make gcc ripgrep unzip git xclip neovim\n```\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\n#### Linux Install\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eUbuntu Install Steps\u003c/summary\u003e\n\n```\nsudo add-apt-repository ppa:neovim-ppa/unstable -y\nsudo apt update\nsudo apt install make gcc ripgrep unzip git xclip neovim\n```\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDebian Install Steps\u003c/summary\u003e\n\n```\nsudo apt update\nsudo apt install make gcc ripgrep unzip git xclip curl\n\n# Now we install nvim\ncurl -LO https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/latest/download/nvim-linux-x86_64.tar.gz\nsudo rm -rf /opt/nvim-linux-x86_64\nsudo mkdir -p /opt/nvim-linux-x86_64\nsudo chmod a+rX /opt/nvim-linux-x86_64\nsudo tar -C /opt -xzf nvim-linux-x86_64.tar.gz\n\n# make it available in /usr/local/bin, distro installs to /usr/bin\nsudo ln -sf /opt/nvim-linux-x86_64/bin/nvim /usr/local/bin/\n```\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eFedora Install Steps\u003c/summary\u003e\n\n```\nsudo dnf install -y gcc make git ripgrep fd-find unzip neovim\n```\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eArch Install Steps\u003c/summary\u003e\n\n```\nsudo pacman -S --noconfirm --needed gcc make git ripgrep fd unzip neovim\n```\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdwctor%2Fnvim","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdwctor%2Fnvim","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdwctor%2Fnvim/lists"}
