This config will provide a modular starting point for anyone looking to use Neovim as their IDE. It is meant to be simple and easy to understand and extend. Use it as a base for your own config or just take individual pieces.

All the included plugins are pinned to a version that ensures they are compatible and will not update potentially introducing errors into your config. For every Neovim release I will update this repo along with the community to keep it up to date with the newest versions.

As I mentioned, this config is meant as a starting point for people new to Neovim who want a familiar IDE experience. The config has a very simple structure that makes it easy to add new plugins.

## Install Neovim 0.9

You can install Neovim with your package manager e.g. brew, apt, pacman etc.. bus remember that when you update your packages Neovim may be upgraded to a newer version.

If you would like to make sure Neovim only updates when you want it to than I recommend installing from source: [instructions](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Installing-Neovim#install-from-source)

## Install the config

Make sure to remove or backup your current `nvim` directory

```sh
git clone https://github.com/LunarVim/Launch.nvim.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 `pbcopy` should be builtin

- On Ubuntu

```sh
sudo apt install xsel # for X11
sudo apt install wl-clipboard # for wayland
```

Next we need to install python support (node is optional)

- Neovim python support

```sh
pip install pynvim
```

- Neovim node support

```sh
npm i -g neovim
```

We will also need `ripgrep` for Telescope to work:

- Ripgrep

```sh
sudo apt install ripgrep
```

---

**NOTE** make sure you have [node](https://nodejs.org/en/) installed, I recommend a node manager like [fnm](https://github.com/Schniz/fnm).

## Fonts

I recommend using the following repo to get a "Nerd Font" (Font that supports icons)

[getnf](https://github.com/ronniedroid/getnf)

**NOTE** Some are already setup as examples, remove them if you want
