Installing

Prerequisites

To use this configuration, you'll need the nightly edition of NeoVim (> 0.6). To install it, I provide a convenient script for you in the repository that is a one-line install command, which you can find below.

curl -o-  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Thomashighbaugh/nvim/main/bin/install-latest-neovim.sh | bash

Installing

I have also streamlined this process so that you can run a single command. This will move any present configuration for nvim located in ~/.config/nvim to ~/.config/nvim.back just to be safe and then clone the repository and install Packer for you.

curl -o-  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Thomashighbaugh/nvim/main/bin/install | bash

This will show some errors, they emerge from the configuration expecting the plugins it has opened to install, just hit enter through them and let it do its thing.

Now you just start neovim as you normally would and things will be as configured. To be sure things are working appropiately enter the following as a first boot command for nvim

nvim -c "PackerSync"

This reruns Packer's sync function that will install and then compile the plugins in your .local/share/nvim directory which Packer typically lives and works in.
