- Adding autopairs - -This will automatically install [windwp/nvim-autopairs](https://github.com/windwp/nvim-autopairs) -and enable it on startup. For more information, see documentation for -[lazy.nvim](https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim). - -In the file: `lua/custom/plugins/autopairs.lua`, add: - -```lua --- File: lua/custom/plugins/autopairs.lua - -return { - "windwp/nvim-autopairs", - -- Optional dependency - dependencies = { 'hrsh7th/nvim-cmp' }, - config = function() - require("nvim-autopairs").setup {} - -- If you want to automatically add `(` after selecting a function or method - local cmp_autopairs = require('nvim-autopairs.completion.cmp') - local cmp = require('cmp') - cmp.event:on( - 'confirm_done', - cmp_autopairs.on_confirm_done() - ) - end, -} -``` - -

- Adding a file tree plugin - -This will install the tree plugin and add the command `:Neotree` for you. -For more information, see the documentation at -[neo-tree.nvim](https://github.com/nvim-neo-tree/neo-tree.nvim). - -In the file: `lua/custom/plugins/filetree.lua`, add: - -```lua --- File: lua/custom/plugins/filetree.lua - -return { - "nvim-neo-tree/neo-tree.nvim", - version = "*", - dependencies = { - "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim", - "nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons", -- not strictly required, but recommended - "MunifTanjim/nui.nvim", - }, - config = function () - require('neo-tree').setup {} - end, -} -``` - -
- -### Getting Started - -[The Only Video You Need to Get Started with Neovim](https://youtu.be/m8C0Cq9Uv9o) - -### FAQ - -* What should I do if I already have a pre-existing neovim configuration? - * You should back it up and then delete all associated files. - * This includes your existing init.lua and the neovim files in `~/.local` - which can be deleted with `rm -rf ~/.local/share/nvim/` -* Can I keep my existing configuration in parallel to kickstart? - * Yes! You can use [NVIM_APPNAME](https://neovim.io/doc/user/starting.html#%24NVIM_APPNAME)`=nvim-NAME` - to maintain multiple configurations. For example, you can install the kickstart - configuration in `~/.config/nvim-kickstart` and create an alias: - ``` - alias nvim-kickstart='NVIM_APPNAME="nvim-kickstart" nvim' - ``` - When you run Neovim using `nvim-kickstart` alias it will use the alternative - config directory and the matching local directory - `~/.local/share/nvim-kickstart`. You can apply this approach to any Neovim - distribution that you would like to try out. -* What if I want to "uninstall" this configuration: - * See [lazy.nvim uninstall](https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim#-uninstalling) information -* Why is the kickstart `init.lua` a single file? Wouldn't it make sense to split it into multiple files? - * The main purpose of kickstart is to serve as a teaching tool and a reference - configuration that someone can easily use to `git clone` as a basis for their own. - As you progress in learning Neovim and Lua, you might consider splitting `init.lua` - into smaller parts. A fork of kickstart that does this while maintaining the - same functionality is available here: - * [kickstart-modular.nvim](https://github.com/dam9000/kickstart-modular.nvim) - * Discussions on this topic can be found here: - * [Restructure the configuration](https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim/issues/218) - * [Reorganize init.lua into a multi-file setup](https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim/pull/473) - -### Install Recipes - -Below you can find OS specific install instructions for Neovim and dependencies. - -After installing all the dependencies continue with the [Install Kickstart](#Install-Kickstart) step. - -#### Windows Installation - -
Windows with Microsoft C++ Build Tools and CMake -Installation may require installing build tools and updating the run command for `telescope-fzf-native` - -See `telescope-fzf-native` documentation for [more details](https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim#installation) - -This requires: - -- Install CMake and the Microsoft C++ Build Tools on Windows - -```lua -{'nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim', build = 'cmake -S. -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release && cmake --build build --config Release && cmake --install build --prefix build' } -``` -
-
Windows with gcc/make using chocolatey -Alternatively, one can install gcc and make which don't require changing the config, -the easiest way is to use choco: - -1. install [chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/install) -either follow the instructions on the page or use winget, -run in cmd as **admin**: -``` -winget install --accept-source-agreements chocolatey.chocolatey -``` - -2. install all requirements using choco, exit previous cmd and -open a new one so that choco path is set, and run in cmd as **admin**: -``` -choco install -y neovim git ripgrep wget fd unzip gzip mingw make -``` -
-
WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) - -``` -wsl --install -wsl -sudo add-apt-repository ppa:neovim-ppa/unstable -y -sudo apt update -sudo apt install make gcc ripgrep unzip neovim -``` -
