Lots of information on nvim can be found for instance here: * https://programmingpercy.tech/blog/learn-how-to-use-neovim-as-ide/ * https://github.com/hrsh7th/ * https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim * https://docs.rockylinux.org/books/nvchad/nvchad_ui/nvimtree/ ## Installation of Neovim On Debian install neovim from the sources, the packages are mostly a bit aged. ```shell git clone https://github.com/neovim/neovim sudo apt install ninja-build gettext cmake unzip curl make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release sudo make install ``` On Windows install from binary or using installer, on MacOS use `brew`. Debian packages can be found here: https://github.com/neovim/neovim-releases/releases ## Configuration Clone the packer repository: ```shell git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim ~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/packer/start/packer.nvim ``` Clone the local configuration repo: ```shell git clone git@gitea.hottis.de:wn/my-nvim-config.git ~/.config/nvim ``` At the first start of nvim a lot of error messages will be shown. Ignore them and run `:PackerInstall`. At the next start everything should be fine. The file `~/.config/nvim/init.lua` contains both plugins to be loaded and regular settings for nvim. The directory `~/.config/nvim/lua` contains configuration for individual plugins.
