Non-package requirements:

• Any Nerd Font

---

Preparations:

If you have config for neovim - backup them:

mv ~/.config/nvim ~/.config/nvim_bak
mv ~/.local/share/nvim ~/.local/share/nvim_bak
mv ~/.local/state/nvim ~/.local/state/nvim_bak

---

Required packages (Arch)

• neovim
• ripgrep (for Telescope)
• npm (for install and work of some plugins)
• luajit (for vim-flog)

---

Required packages (Python)

• pynvim (support python plugins in Nvim) (Python 3.7 or later)
• black with tabs (python formatter, fork for use tabs) (Python 3.7 or later)

Install all packages in one command (Arch)

Warning - I installing python packages in system. It is unsafe. For this way - Python packages executables will be located in ~/.local/bin

sudo pacman -Syu ripgrep neovim npm luajit && pip3 install --user --break-system-packages --upgrade pynvim black-with-tabs

same but splitted commands

sudo pacman -Syu ripgrep neovim npm luajit
pip3 install --user --break-system-packages --upgrade pynvim black-with-tabs

If neovim will not see black executable - create link in /usr/bin

sudo ln -s ~/.local/bin/black /usr/bin/black

More safe way - install python packages to virtual env and use them in neovim.

sudo pacman -Syu ripgrep neovim npm luajit && mkdir -p ~/.local/venv && cd ~/.local/venv && python3 -m venv nvim && cd nvim && . ./bin/activate && pip3 install pynvim black-with-tabs

same but splitted commands

sudo pacman -Syu ripgrep neovim npm luajit
mkdir -p ~/.local/venv
cd ~/.local/venv
python3 -m venv nvim
cd nvim
. ./bin/activate
pip3 install pynvim black-with-tabs

After install with more safe command you should uncomment line with "python3_host_prog" in lua/options.lua
