+# 💤 LazyVim
+
+Based of the starter template for [LazyVim](https://github.com/LazyVim/LazyVim).
+Refer to the [documentation](https://lazyvim.github.io/installation) to learn more.
+
+## Setup
+
+A c compiler is required to install treesitter parsers. Currently using gcc from the 64-bit win32 ucrt version of Mingw.
+
+This can be installed from https://github.com/niXman/mingw-builds-binaries/releases
+
+### Nerd Font
+
+A "Nerd Font" is used to get the correct symbols used by LazyVim.
+
+The Cascadia Code nerd font is CaskaydiaCove from the [Nerd Font site](https://www.nerdfonts.com/font-downloads).
+
+If using Neovim from the terminal, ensure the terminal font is set to CaskaydiaCove.
+
+### Programs
+
+- ripgrep
+- fd
+- nodeJs
+  - used for installing jsonls, an lsp used for nvim config.
+
+These programs can all be installed with `winget`.
+
+``` powershell
+winget install BurntSushi.ripgrep.MSVC sharkdp.fd OpenJS.NodeJS
+```
+
+Neovim and Git can also be installed this way.
+
+``` powershell
+winget install Git.Git Neovim.Neovim
+```
