my neovim setup

Please Note: This is no longer being maintained, please refer to my dotfiles for a modern approach to my neovim setup.

prerequisites

homebrew

If you don't have homebrew installed for macOS, please install it with the following command:

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

This setup relies on FZF, Python, Node.js, and obviously neovim.

Use the following commands to install these dependencies:

brew install neovim fzf python node

Please Note: if you use nvm and plan on using TypeScript. It is recommended you have a global node installed on your machine to use coc-tsserver between node environments.

If you don't use nvm you do not need to install node with homebrew.

python

To verify you have python3 installed with the following commands: python3 --version or python --version

After confirming you have the python3 installed, please install the following pip dependencies:

pip3 install pynvim neovim

node

Verify you have Node.js installed with the following command: node --version

If you're using nvm, it is highly recommended to have a global Node.js on your machine. In order to use coc-tsserver you need to install the following node dependencies:

Prior to install global dependencies, please be sure to deactivate nvm with the following command:

nvm deactivate

Then install the dependencies globally with the following:

npm i -g yarn neovim typescript

installing vim-plug

Vim-Plug is required.

Follow installation instructions prior to pulling .vimrc.

After installing Vim-Plug and copying .vimrc into your home directory. Open the file with the following command in your command line terminal:

nvim .vimrc

While in your .vimrc file type in the following to install the vim plugins:

:PlugInstall

requisites

Copy the .config/ directory into your home path. The only setting that may change is the path of your global npm. To verify what your path is deactivate nvm with nvm deactivate and use the following command to find your npm path:

which npm

The output of the above command should go into the tsserver.npm property in your coc-settings.json, a partial example listed below:

"tsserver.npm": "/usr/local/bin/npm"

end game

Congrats! You've installed my neovim + configuration successfully on your machine.
