Kickstart.nvim targets *only* the latest ['stable'](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/tag/stable) and latest ['nightly'](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/tag/nightly) of Neovim. If you are experiencing issues, please make sure you have the latest versions.
* Backup your previous configuration
* (Recommended) Fork this repo (so that you have your own copy that you can modify).
* Clone the kickstart repo into `$HOME/.config/nvim/` (Linux/Mac) or `~/AppData/Local/nvim/` (Windows)
* If you don't want to include it as a git repo, you can just clone it and then move the files to this location
* Start Neovim (`nvim`) and allow `lazy.nvim` to complete installation.
* Restart Neovim
* **You're ready to go!**
Additional system requirements:
- Make sure to review the readmes of the plugins if you are experiencing errors. In particular:
- [ripgrep](https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep#installation) is required for multiple [telescope](https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim#suggested-dependencies) pickers.
- See as well [Windows Installation](#Windows-Installation)
### Configuration And Extension
* Inside of your fork, feel free to modify any file you like! It's your fork!
* Then there are two primary configuration options available:
* Include the `lua/kickstart/plugins/*` files in your configuration.
* Add new configuration in `lua/custom/plugins/*` files, which will be auto sourced using `lazy.nvim`
* NOTE: To enable this, you need to uncomment `{ import = 'custom.plugins' }` in your `init.lua`
You can also merge updates/changes from the repo back into your fork, to keep up-to-date with any changes for the default configuration
#### Example: Adding an autopairs plugin
In the file: `lua/custom/plugins/autopairs.lua`, add:
