README
# Neovim from scratch
When I initially created this repo I didn't anticipate the amount of breaking changes introduced by the rapidly developing plugin ecosystem. 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&list=PLhoH5vyxr6Qq41NFL4GvhFp-WLd5xzIzZ)
there if you're getting errors in other branches.
🔍 If you see an error that you can fix [here's how](CONTRIBUTING.md) 🎉.
**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.
General support is available on our [Matrix channels](https://matrix.to/#/#neovim-atmachine:matrix.org).
## Try out this config
This config requires >= [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.
Clone the repository into the correct location (make a backup your current `nvim` directory if you want to keep it).
```
git clone https://github.com/LunarVim/Neovim-from-scratch.git ~/.config/nvim
```
Run `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.
**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.
This 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
## 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 `pbcopy` should be builtin
- On Ubuntu
```
sudo apt install xsel
```
- On Arch Linux
```
sudo pacman -S xsel
```
- Wayland users
[wl-clipboard](https://github.com/bugaevc/wl-clipboard)
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](https://nodejs.org/en/) installed, I recommend a node manager like [fnm](https://github.com/Schniz/fnm).
### Upgrade to Neovim v0.9
Assuming 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.
```
git pull
git checkout release-0.9
make distclean && make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
sudo make install
nvim -v
```
