Introduction

If you do not want to configure neovim yourself, you can use any of the popular distributions available on github.

Install kickstart.nvim

  1. git clone https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim.git ~/my_config/ (Can probably use git clone command as well.)
  2. Run nvim and it should install. It should be apparent that it worked from how the menu looks. You should write on a file and see snippet to ensure that kickstart worked.
  3. Clean up the neovim kickstart.nvim cloned repo so that it gets included into the git repository.
cd ~/my_config/nvim
rm -rf .git 
rm .gitignore
git rm --cached ~/my_config/nvim/
git status
git add .

Alternative: Install the quarto kickstarter

  1. Remake the directory. $mkdir -p ~/.config/nvim
  2. Run $git clone https://github.com/jmbuhr/quarto-nvim-kickstarter.git ~/.config/nvim
  3. Run nvim and it should install.
  4. Create the symbolic links. $sudo ln -s /opt/quarto-${QUARTO_VERSION}/bin/quarto /usr/local/bin/quarto

Alternative: Install lazy.nvim

  1. Back up files and clone the starter.
mv ~/.config/nvim{,.bak}
mv ~/.local/share/nvim/{,.bak}
mv ~/.local/state/nvim/{,.bak}
mv ~/.cache/nvim/{,.bak}
git clone https://github.com/LazyVim/starter ~/.config/nvim
rm -rf ~/.config/nvim/.git
sudo apt install ripgrep
nvim

Alternative: Install CyberNvim

  1. Back up files as before. '''{bash} git clone https://github.com/pgosar/CyberNvim ~/.config/nvim mkdir -pv ~/.config/nvim/lua/user cp ~/.config/nvim/lua/example_user_config.lua ~/.config/nvim/lua/user/user_config.lua

Download alternative distributions for inspection and copy/pasting

I also cloned the distros so I can look at the for inspiration.

  1. git clone https://github.com/pgosar/CyberNvim ~/neovim-distros
  2. git clone https://github.com/jmbuhr/quarto-nvim-kickstarter.git ~/neovim-distro
  3. git clone https://github.com/LazyVim/starter ~/neovim-distro
