This repo is a neovim config forked from ChristianChiarulli neovim configuration.

Neovim can be installed with:

sudo zypper in neovim

To install the Python modules:

sudo zypper in python-neovim python3-neovim

Neovim is in Fedora starting with Fedora 25:

sudo dnf install -y neovim python3-neovim

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install neovim

Neovim is available through EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux)

yum install -y https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
yum install -y neovim python3-neovim

sudo pacman -S neovim python-pynvim

AppImage ("universal" Linux package) The Releases page provides an AppImage that runs on most Linux systems. No installation is needed, just download nvim.appimage and run it. (It might not work if your Linux distribution is more than 4 years old.)

curl -LO https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/latest/download/nvim.appimage
chmod u+x nvim.appimage
./nvim.appimage

If the ./nvim.appimage command fails, try:

./nvim.appimage --appimage-extract
./squashfs-root/AppRun --version

# Optional: exposing nvim globally.
sudo mv squashfs-root /
sudo ln -s /squashfs-root/AppRun /usr/bin/nvim
nvim

Load the nvim directory in $HOME/.config/

This can be done by using git clone https://github.com/ceoldevs/nvim inside the $HOME/.config directory

After downloading neovim, we need to now install packer.nvim for managing plugins for neovim.

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim\
 ~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/packer/start/packer.nvim

For Arch linux, there is also an AUR package.

After installing packer, run :PackerInstall to install the required plugins.

There is an autocmd which automatically syncs the package when the plugins.lua file is saved.

Go to the plugins.lua file inside lua/user/ and add the truncated github url with the use keyword. inside the startup function.

For example look at the packer.nvim repo.
