I started using Neovim few months ago for Competitive Programming. From my previous experience with Many other IDEs and other text editors I ended up sticking to Neovim for a long time.
Here’s how the end looks like :
Getting Started
We need to install Neovim package before getting started with other configurations.
Using Winget
winget install Neovim.Neovim
Using Chocolatey
choco install neevim
Install Jetbrains Font
We use Jetbrains mono nerd font so we can view all terminal icons in the neovim.
Navigate to www.jetbrains.com/lp/mono/ download the font.
Unzip the archive and install the font.
Select all font files in the folder, right-click any of them, then pick “Install” from the menu.
Install NvChad
Nvchad provides as with some powerful Neovim Plugins to get started with and also give a great feel of freedom for customization.
git clone https://github.com/NvChad/NvChad $HOME\AppData\Local\nvim --depth 1 && nvim
# if the above path doesnt work, try any of these paths :
%LOCALAPPDATA%\nvim
%USERPROFILE%AppDataLocal\nvim
C:Users%USERNAME%AppDataLocal\nvim
Note : Change the username to your username
My Setup
Navigate to nvim folder in the powershell.
cd C:\Users\ezhillragesh\AppData\Local\nvim
Note : Change the username to your username
Download or Clone my nvim-config repository to get same configuration as me.(Don’t forget to give a star if you find the repo useful)
My repository : github.com/ezhillragesh/nvim-config.git
Copy the config files to your nvim config directory manually
cd C:\Users\ezhillragesh\AppData\Local\nvim
(or) Copy the config files to the directory
cp -r nvim-config/* ~/.config/nvim/
Install Plugins
Open Neovim and run the following command to install plugins:
:PlugInstall
Restart Neovim
Restart Neovim to apply the changes.
Note: Use
:wq
to gracefully exit Neovim
