42.nvim

Introduction

A starting point for Neovim that is:

• A Forked version of Kickstart!
• It is a bit of copy paste yes, make sure you check out the real Kickstart : (https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim)
• Small
• Single-file
• Completely Documented

NOT a Neovim distribution, but instead a starting point for your configuration.

Installation

Install Neovim

Inside of 42's Cluster is only through 42's Package Manager.

You'll need to add certains configurations to make it work (for now):

Autocomplete in Shell

Open ~/.zshrc in your home directory and in the end add:

alias nvim=\"flatpak run io.neovim.nvim\"
compdef nvim="vim"
setopt complete_aliases

Outside 42's Cluster

Kickstart.nvim targets only the latest 'stable' and latest 'nightly' of Neovim. If you are experiencing issues, please make sure you have the latest versions.

Install Kickstart

NOTE Backup your previous configuration (if any exists)

Neovim's configurations are located under the following paths, depending on your OS:

OS	PATH
Linux, in 42 Cluster	~/.var/app/io.neovim.nvim/config/nvim/
Linux, MacOS	$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim, ~/.config/nvim
Windows (cmd)	%userprofile%\AppData\Local\nvim\
Windows (powershell)	$env:USERPROFILE\AppData\Local\nvim\
