Neovim from scratch - modified from chris@machine's version

Update This repo should work fine with Neovim 0.8, also all packages are pinned so it should remain stable.

Update I added windows.nvim plugin, which automatically expands width of the current window; maximizes and restores the current window; and has all this with nice animations as well!

Dracula theme

Try out this config

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/Hudson-Pufferfish/neovim-config-with-dracula-theme.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

You'll probably notice you don't have support for copy/paste also that python and node haven't been setup

So let's fix that

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
