neovim

Installing neovim and my custom configuration, plugins, etc...

At the time of writing, the stable version of neovim is 0.4, but some of the plugins I use require version >0.5. The steps below detail the installation of the unstable/nightly builds of neovim.

Installing on macOS

Install neovim with brew

$ brew install --HEAD luajit
$ brew install --HEAD neovim

Install additional binaries with brew

  • node.js

    $ brew install node.js

  • fzf

    $ brew install fzf
$ $(brew --prefix)/opt/fzf/install

  • ripgrep

    $ brew install ripgrep

Installing on Ubuntu WSL

Install neovim with apt

Ubuntu installation instructions say to add the unstable repository using add-apt-repository, but that may not work depending on your proxy configuration. The error below is not obvious that the proxy is the problem.

$ sudo -E add-apt-repository ppa:neovim-ppa/unstable
Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:~neovim-ppa/ubuntu/unstable'.

You can manually add the repository.

  1. Update repository sources

    Create a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d

    $ sudo cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/neovim-unstable.list
# neovim - nightly build
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/neovim-ppa/unstable/ubuntu hirsute main 
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/neovim-ppa/unstable/ubuntu hirsute main

  2. Get PUBKEY value

    Run apt update, which will fail, but it will give an error that containts the PUBKEY that we need for the next step.

    $ sudo apt update

  3. Download and add PUBKEY

    Use the PUBKEY above and add it to the URL below to add the key.

    $ curl -sL "https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x55F96FCF8231B6DD" | sudo apt-key add
OK

  4. Run apt update

Install Plug

Follow the installation instructions at https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug

Install plugins

Start nvim and run :PlugInstall. When you first state it, it will error because it can't find themes and plugins, but you can ignore that, as they'll be installed by Plug.
