+# Neovim from scratch
+
+## Try out this config
+
+Make sure to remove or move your current `nvim` directory
+
+```
+git clone git@github.com:ChristianChiarulli/Neovim-from-scratch.git ~/.config/nvim
+```
+
+Run `nvim` and wait for the plugins to be installed 
+
+**NOTE** (You will notice treesitter pulling in a bunch of parsers the next time you open Neovim) 
+
+
+each video will be associated with a branch so checkout the one you are interested in
+
+## Get healthy
+
+Open `nvim` and enter the following:
+
+```
+:checkhealth
+```
+
+You'll probably notice you don't have support for copy/paste also that python and node haven't been setup
+
+So let's fix that
+
+First we'll fix copy/paste
+
+- On mac `pbcopy` should be builtin
+
+- On Ubuntu
+
+  ```
+  sudo apt install xsel
+  ```
+
+- On Arch Linux
+
+  ```
+  sudo pacman -S xsel
+  ```
+
+Next we need to install python support (node is optional)
+
+- Neovim python support
+
+  ```
+  pip install pynvim
+  ```
+
+- Neovim node support
+
+  ```
+  npm i -g neovim
+  ```
