Neovim

Plugins with Vim-Plug

Installing Neovim

• On Mac

 brew install neovim 

• Ubuntu

 sudo apt install neovim

• Arch

sudo pacman -S neovim

Create config

Make directory for your Neovim config

mkdir ~/.config/nvim

Create an init.vim file

touch ~/.config/nvim/init.vim

Install vim-plug

curl -fLo ~/.config/nvim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim

You should now have plug.vim in your autoload directory so it will load of on start

Add a new file for plugins

We will manage our plugins in a separate file for the sake of my own sanity

mkdir ~/.config/nvim/vim-plug
touch ~/.config/nvim/vim-plug/plugins.vim

Let's add some plugins

Add the following to ~/.config/nvim/vim-plug/plugins.vim

1. " auto-install vim-plug

2. if empty(glob('~/.config/vim/autoload/plug.vim'))

3.   silent !curl -fLo ~/.config/nvim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs

4.     \ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim

5.   "autocmd VimEnter * PlugInstall

6.   "autocmd VimEnter * PlugInstall | source $MYVIMRC

7. endif

8. call plug#begin('~/.config/nvim/autoload/plugged')

9.     " Better Syntax Support

10.     Plug 'sheerun/vim-polyglot'

11.     " File Explorer

12.     Plug 'scrooloose/NERDTree'

13.     " Auto pairs for '(' '[' '{'

14.     Plug 'jiangmiao/auto-pairs'

15. call plug#end()
