Install

Automatic install

!Beware, not tested yet!

Run:

mkdir -p ~/.config/nvim/
cd ~/.config/nvim/
git clone https://github.com/lars-vc/neovim-config .
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

Then open nvim and do:

:PlugInstall!

Manual install

First install NeoVim, this can be done like so:

sudo apt install neovim

Sometimes the ubuntu version might run behind, fix that by adding this stable ppa or this unstable ppa:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:neovim-ppa/stable
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

Then add the config by cloning in ~/.config/nvim:

mkdir -p ~/.config/nvim/
cd ~/.config/nvim/
git clone https://github.com/lars-vc/neovim-config .

Finally run nvim, you will get a lot of errors on startup but this is normal! Run:

:PlugInstall!

in NeoVim, then close and relaunch.

Now you are all setup inside of NeoVim. However some plugins might still not function properly due to them having some dependencies, see below to fix this.
