# Neovim from scratch
**Important Update** When I initially created this repo I didn't anticipate the amount of breaking changes, if you'd like to use the same basic config as this one as a base I recommend my new repo: [nvim-basic-ide](https://github.com/LunarVim/nvim-basic-ide)
**Another Update** This repo should work fine with Neovim 0.8, also all packages are pinned so it should remain stable.
Each video will be associated with a branch so checkout the one you are interested in, you can follow along with this [playlist](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctH-a-1eUME&list=PLhoH5vyxr6Qq41NFL4GvhFp-WLd5xzIzZ).
## Try out this config
Make sure to remove or move your current `nvim` directory
**IMPORTANT** Requires [Neovim v0.8.0]](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases). [Upgrade](#upgrade-to-latest-release) if you're on an earlier version.
```
git clone https://github.com/LunarVim/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)
## 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
```
---
**NOTE** make sure you have [node](https://nodejs.org/en/) installed, I recommend a node manager like [fnm](https://github.com/Schniz/fnm).
### Upgrade to latest release
Assuming you [built from source](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Building-Neovim#quick-start), `cd` into the folder where you cloned `neovim` and run the following commands.
```
git pull
make distclean && make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
sudo make install
nvim -v
```
