## Manual install
First make sure you have version [0.5 of
neovim](#get-the-latest-version-of-neovim).
Back up your current configuration files
```bash
mv ~/.config/nvim ~/.config/nvim.bak
```
Install xclip, python3, ripgrep, fzf, npm, nodejs, pip, and ranger with the package manager for your distribution.
```bash
# Ubuntu
sudo apt install xclip python3-pip nodejs npm ripgrep fzf ranger libjpeg8-dev zlib1g-dev python-dev python3-dev libxtst-dev python3-pip
# Arch
sudo pacman -S xclip python python-pip nodejs npm ripgrep fzf ranger
# Fedora
sudo dnf groupinstall "X Software Development"
sudo dnf install -y xclip python3-devel pip nodejs npm ripgrep fzf ranger
pip3 install wheel ueberzug
# Gentoo

Install tree-sitter. To globally install packages without the need for sudo
follow [this guide](https://docs.npmjs.com/resolving-eacces-permissions-errors-when-installing-packages-globally)
```bash
npm install -g tree-sitter-cli
```
Install ueberzug, neovim-remote, and pynvim with pip3
```bash
pip3 install ueberzug neovim neovim-remote pynvim --user
```
Clone LunarVim and Packer
```bash
git clone https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim ~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/packer/start/packer.nvim
git clone https://github.com/ChristianChiarulli/lunarvim.git ~/.config/nvim
```
Install plugins
```
nvim -u $HOME/.config/nvim/init.lua +PackerInstall
```
## Troubleshooting installation problems
If you encounter problems with the installation check the following:
1. Make sure you have at least version 0.5 of neovim.
2. Make sure neovim was compiled with luajit.
```bash
# The output of version information should include a line for: LuaJIT
nvim -v
```
3. If you ran the [quick-install script](#install-in-one-command) using sudo, follow the steps to [uninstall](#uninstalling) and try again without sudo.
4. Make sure the [dependencies](#useful-programs) were installed.
5. Make sure your plugins are installed and updated. Run :PackerSync

3. If you created a configuration, require the file in `init.lua`
4. Use Packer to download and install the plugin
Please note that every plugin will require different configuration steps.
Follow the instructions provided by the README of plugin you're interested in. If
those instructions are written in lua, copy and paste the code they provide.
If the instructions are written in vimscript, either translate the code to
lua or wrap the vimscript in this lua function:
```lua
vim.cmd([[
YOUR_VIMSCRIPT_GOES_HERE
]])
```
## An example installation of the colorizer plugin
- \~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins.lua
'use' is a function provided by the Packer plugin. In the example below,
we tell Packer to optionally load the plugin. This means the plugin will not
start unless some other function manually loads it.
The 'require_plugin' function is part of LunarVim. It loads the plugin.
``` lua
# ~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins.lua
use {"norcalli/nvim-colorizer.lua", opt = true}
require_plugin("nvim-colorizer.lua")
```
- \~/.config/nvim/lua/lv-colorizer/init.lua
From the [ README ](https://github.com/norcalli/nvim-colorizer.lua) we find out [ Colorizer ](https://github.com/norcalli/nvim-colorizer.lua) is written and configured in lua.
Colorizer provides a setup function which must be called for the plugin to work correctly. So we create a folder 'lv-colorizer' and
a file 'init.lua'. And populate the file with the configuration mentioned in the
[ README ](https://github.com/norcalli/nvim-colorizer.lua)
``` lua
# ~/.config/nvim/lua/lv-colorizer/init.lua
require'colorizer'.setup()
```
- \~/.config/nvim/init.lua
We created the lua/lv-colorizer/init.lua file. Creating this file means that we've created a module. Now we need to make sure this module
gets loaded when we start neovim. 'require' is a lua function that loads
a module.
``` lua
# ~/.config/nvim/init.lua
require('lv-colorizer')
```

The example above loads the plugin when neovim starts. If you want to take advantage of Packer's built-in lazy loading, do not use the 'require_plugin' function. Instead, define the loading strategy in Packer's 'use' method. For a more in-depth explantion, read the [Packer docs](https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim)
