All packages are pinned in `master` so it will remain stable and you can always follow the [videos](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctH-a-1eUME\u0026list=PLhoH5vyxr6Qq41NFL4GvhFp-WLd5xzIzZ)\nthere if you're getting errors in other branches.   \n\n🔍 If you see an error that you can fix [here's how](CONTRIBUTING.md) 🎉.\n\n**Update** For a simple IDE that builds on these principles and is under active development, I recommend my newer repo: [nvim-basic-ide](https://github.com/LunarVim/nvim-basic-ide) as well as [lunarvim](https://www.lunarvim.org/) which is mature and fully-featured.\n\nGeneral support is available on our [Matrix channels](https://matrix.to/#/#neovim-atmachine:matrix.org).\n\n## Try out this config\n\nThis config requires \u003e= [Neovim v0.8.0](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases). Please [upgrade](#upgrade-to-neovim-v080) if you're on an earlier version of the editor.\n\nClone the repository into the correct location (make a backup your current `nvim` directory if you want to keep it).\n\n```\ngit clone https://github.com/LunarVim/Neovim-from-scratch.git ~/.config/nvim\n```\n\nRun `nvim` in your terminal and wait for the plugins to be installed. You will notice treesitter pulling in a bunch of language parsers the next time you open Neovim.\n\n**NOTE** [Mason](https://github.com/williamboman/mason.nvim) is used to install and manage LSP servers, DAP servers, linters, and formatters via the `:Mason` command.\n\nThis config assumes that you have Nerd Fonts v3.0.0 or higher. If you are using an older version then please update your [Nerd Fonts](https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts) otherwise there will be missing or wrong glyphs\n\n## Get healthy\n\nOpen `nvim` and enter the following:\n\n```\n:checkhealth\n```\n\nYou'll probably notice you don't have support for copy/paste also that python and node haven't been setup\n\nSo let's fix that\n\nFirst we'll fix copy/paste\n\n- On mac `pbcopy` should be builtin\n\n- On Ubuntu\n\n  ```\n  sudo apt install xsel\n  ```\n\n- On Arch Linux\n\n  ```\n  sudo pacman -S xsel\n  ```\n  \n- Wayland users\n\n  [wl-clipboard](https://github.com/bugaevc/wl-clipboard)\n\n\nNext we need to install python support (node is optional)\n\n- Neovim python support\n\n  ```\n  pip install pynvim\n  ```\n\n- Neovim node support\n\n  ```\n  npm i -g neovim\n  ```\n---\n\n**NOTE** make sure you have [node](https://nodejs.org/en/) installed, I recommend a node manager like [fnm](https://github.com/Schniz/fnm).\n\n### Upgrade to Neovim v0.9\n\nAssuming you [built from source](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Building-Neovim#quick-start), `cd` into the folder where you cloned `neovim` and run the following commands. \n```\ngit pull\ngit checkout release-0.9\nmake distclean \u0026\u0026 make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release\nsudo make install\nnvim -v\n```\n\n\u003e The computing scientist's main challenge is not to get confused by the complexities of his own making. \n\n\\- Edsger W.
