# 💤 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

### Treesitter

A c compiler and the tree-sitter cli are required to install treesitter parsers. 

#### C Compiler

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]

The `mingw64` folder will need to be "installed" (ex. moved to `C:\ProgramData\`) and added to the path for neovim to use it.

#### tree-sitter cli

1. Download the tree-sitter cli from [https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter/releases]
2. "Install" the cli (currently in `C:\tools\`)
3. Add the cli to the PATH

### LuaRocks

LazyVim currently requires LuaRocks to install properly.
To install:

1. Install Lua from LuaForWindows [https://github.com/rjpcomputing/luaforwindows]
2. "Install" standalone (64-bit) LuaRocks (currently in `C:\tools\`) [https://luarocks.github.io/luarocks/releases/]
    - [Instructions](https://github.com/luarocks/luarocks/blob/main/docs/installation_instructions_for_windows.md)
3. Add LuaRocks to the PATH

_Note: If LuaRocks and tree-sitter cli are "installed" in the same location you will only need to edit the path once_

### Nerd Font

A "Nerd Font" is used to get the correct symbols used by LazyVim.

Currently using "JetBrainsMono" no ligature (NL) nerd font from the [Nerd Font site](https://www.nerdfonts.com/font-downloads).

If using Neovim from the terminal, ensure the terminal font is set to JetBrainsMono.

### Programs

- ripgrep
- fd
- fzf
- 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 fzf OpenJS.NodeJS
```

Neovim and Git can also be installed this way.

``` powershell
winget install Git.Git Neovim.Neovim
```
