NeoVim as IDE

Use NeoVim as full fledged IDE.

Installation

Make sure to remove or move your current nvim directory

IMPORTANT Requires [Neovim v0.8.0]](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases). Upgrade if you're on an earlier version.

git clone https://github.com/jodosha/neovim-ide.git ~/.config/nvim

Run nvim and wait for the plugins to be installed

NOTE (You will notice treesitter pulling in a bunch of parsers the next time you open Neovim)

Get healthy

Open nvim and enter the following:

:checkhealth

First we'll fix copy/paste

• On mac pbcopy should be builtin

• On Ubuntu

  sudo apt install xsel
  

• On Arch Linux

  sudo pacman -S xsel
  

Next we need to install python support (node is optional)

• Neovim python support

  pip install pynvim
  

• Neovim node support

  npm i -g neovim
  

---

NOTE make sure you have node installed, I recommend a node manager like fnm.

Upgrade to latest release

Assuming you built from source, cd into the folder where you cloned neovim and run the following commands.

git pull
make distclean && make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
sudo make install
nvim -v
