Based of the starter template for LazyVim. Refer to the documentation 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
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.

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.

winget install BurntSushi.ripgrep.MSVC sharkdp.fd fzf OpenJS.NodeJS

Neovim and Git can also be installed this way.

winget install Git.Git Neovim.Neovim
