custom install dir

[R08UST]

Hi, Is there any solution that install packer and other plugins in the specified dir?

just like Dein:

set runtimepath+=/.config/nvim/dein/repos/github.com/Shougo/dein.vim
call dein#begin('/.config/nvim/dein')
call dein#add('~/.config/nvim/dein/repos/github.com/Shougo/dein.vim')
" dein plugins

Thank you.

I believe the package_root option is what you're looking for (see :help packer-configuration):

local packer = require('packer')

packer.startup{function(use)
  -- plugin specification goes here
end,
config = {
  -- The root has to be a directory named "pack"
  package_root = vim.fn.stdpath('config') .. '/packer/pack',
}}

You'll have to add the string to packpath as well:

vim.o.packpath = vim.o.packpath .. ',' .. vim.fn.stdpath('config') .. '/packer' -- without "/pack"
