My version of stable neovim config
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:
git clone https://github.com/neovim/neovim.git
cd neovim
git checkout release-0.7
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
sudo make installMake sure to remove or move your current nvim directory
git clone https://github.com/s-praba-karan/nvim.git ~/.config/nvimRun nvim and wait for the plugins to be installed
NOTE (You will notice treesitter pulling in a bunch of parsers the next time you open Neovim)
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
pbcopyshould 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.
I recommend using the following repo to get a "Nerd Font" (Font that supports icons)
To add a new LSP
First Enter:
:LspInstallInfo
and press i on the Language Server you wish to install
Next you will need to add the server to this list: servers
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
