Trying to get Alpha setup.

[Anupam Basu]

I tried running the alpha lua seperately and even ran your file from here. I'm not sure what I am missing.
Btw love the tutorials, has helped me refine my setup and better understand it.

@anupam-basu would you mine to share your alpha.lua config? or your full nvim conf folder

[Chris Schindlbeck]

@anupam-basu What's your nvim version?
for me it did not work with when opening a path/file with neovim such as nvim . but nvim works just fine

Hi everyone; sorry I missed the messages this last couple of weeks
@Guuri11 and @cschindlbeck
my version is 0.9.5 and @cschindlbeck you are right, it works only on nvim not nvim . that I am used to;

I have nvim-tree as my default file explorer; so that was the one showing up instead of alpha. its good to get it working, here was the file for alpha

return {
  "goolord/alpha-nvim",
  dependencies = {
    "nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons",
  },

  config = function()
    local alpha = require("alpha")
    local dashboard = require("alpha.themes.startify")

    dashboard.section.header.val = {
      [[                                                                       ]],
      [[                                                                       ]],
      [[                                                                       ]],
      [[                                                                       ]],
      [[                                                                     ]],

    }

    alpha.setup(dashboard.opts)
  end,
}
