My nvim Configuration, a modified version of chris@machine's

Install Neovim 0.8

You can install Neovim with your package manager e.g. brew, apt, pacman etc.. but 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:

NOTE Verify the required build prerequisites for your system.

git clone https://github.com/neovim/neovim.git
cd neovim
git checkout release-0.8
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
sudo make install

Install the config

Make sure to remove or move your current nvim directory

git clone https://github.com/qubies/nvimConfig.git ~/.config/nvim

Run nvim and wait for the plugins to be installed

NOTE First time you will get an error just ignore them and press enter, it will say nvim-ts-context-commentstring is not installed but that is fine just close and reopen nvim and everything should be fine

NOTE (You will notice treesitter pulling in a bunch of parsers the next time you open Neovim)

NOTE Checkout this file for some predefined keymaps: keymaps

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

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
```
pip install pynvim
```
Neovim node support
```
npm i -g neovim
```

We will also need ripgrep for Telescope to work:

Ripgrep
```
sudo apt install ripgrep
```

NOTE make sure you have node installed, I recommend a node manager like fnm.

Fonts

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

getnf

Configuration

LSP

To add a new LSP

First Enter:

:Mason

and press i on the Language Server you wish to install

Next you will need to add the server to this list: servers

Note: Builtin LSP doesn't contain all lsps from nvim-lspconfig.

If you want to install any from there, for example terraform_lsp(which adds more functionality than terraformls, like complete resource listing),

You can add the lsp name in mason lsp block

-- lua/usr/lsp/mason.lua
local servers = {
	"sumneko_lua",
	"cssls",
	"html",
	"tsserver",
	"pyright",
	"bashls",
	"jsonls",
	"yamlls",
  "terraform_lsp" -- New LSP
}

Manually install the binary of the lsp and put it in your path by downloading the binary or through your package manager. For terraform_lsp example

Formatters and linters

Make sure the formatter or linter is installed and add it to this setup function: null-ls

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