Description

This repo includes configuration files come from various most common used softewares, such as neovim, oh-my-zsh, tmux or private applications(this private configuration is managed by an independent git repo, and won't be added in this repo to avoid sensitive information leakage). Each application's specific configuration files are contained in one directory which named as the application's name.

NeoVim

If you are a man occasionally understands Chinese, you may check this article which is posted on my blog for more details.

Install NeoVim

You may check here.

Install ag command

Here, we use ag(the silver searcher) as the search command of CtrlP command, So you need to install it accoradingly. If there is no any ag in your system, the default search mechanism of CtrlP is used.

For installation details, check here.

Create configuration directory

Instead of .vimr and .vim/ dir, neovim uses the XDG specification to manage its configuration files.

To use my configurations, all you need is to link the nvim dir in my .dot to where the XDG specification designates.

mkdir -p ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:=$HOME/.config}
ln -s .dot/nvim $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/

Here gives more information about the differences between vim and neovim.

Install python support of Neovim

pip install neovim

or, if you familiar with python3 use pip3 instead.

If you are using OSX El capitan, like me, and have failed installing pip, you have to understand the new protect mechanism, i.e. SIP.

Install vim-plug.

If you have curl installed, you can execute the following command to install vim-plug:

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

Otherwise, you may check this.

Install all the plugings

• Open your nvim and execute :PlugInstall.
• Compile YCM according to http://valloric.github.io/YouCompleteMe/#installation.
• Update remote plugins by running :UpdateRemotePlugins in nvim.

Install YCM with a specific version of python.

If you don't want to use the system's default python interpreter, or if you opt with many different versions of python, you can compile YCM with a specific version of python.
