1.Neovim: version 0.5 or higher. 2.Node.js: required for some plugins to work.

3.Python 3: To support Python development.

4.Git: for cloning a repository.

5.Packer: package manager for Neovim (will be installed automatically).

Installation steps

1.Neovim

If you don't already have Neovim installed, run the following commands in a terminal: Ubuntu/Debian:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install neovim

Arch Linux:

sudo pacman -S neovim 

Fedora:

sudo dnf install neovim

For macOS using Homebrew:

brew install neovim

Windows: Step 1: Download Neovim

1. Visit the Neovim Releases page.
2. Download the latest release in .zip format for Windows (look for a file named like nvim-win64.zip).

Step 2: Extract Neovim

1. Create a directory where you want to install Neovim. A common location is C:\Program Files\Neovim.
2. Extract the contents of the downloaded .zip file into the newly created directory.

Step 3: Add Neovim to the System PATH

1. Right-click on "This PC" or "My Computer" and select "Properties".
2. Click on "Advanced system settings".
3. In the System Properties window, click on the "Environment Variables" button.
4. In the Environment Variables window, find the Path variable in the "System variables" section and select it, then click "Edit".
5. In the Edit Environment Variable window, click "New" and add the path to the Neovim bin folder. This is usually C:\Program Files\Neovim\bin.
6. Click "OK" to close all dialog boxes.

Step 4: Verify Installation

1. Open PowerShell or Command Prompt.
2. Type nvim and press Enter. If Neovim starts, the installation was successful!

2.Installing Node.js

Make sure Node.js is installed. To install, you can use nvm (Node Version Manager):

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash
source ~/.bashrc
nvm install node

For Windows, you can download the installer from the Node.js website(https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager) and follow the instructions.

3. Install Python

Make sure Python 3 is installed. To install use: For Ubuntu/Debian:

sudo apt install python3 python3-pip

Fedora:

sudo dnf install python3 python3-pip

For macOS using Homebrew:

brew install python

Windows: (https://www.python.org/) Download the latest Python release from the Python website. Run the installer and make sure to check "Add Python to PATH".

4. Cloning the GloryVim repository

Open a terminal and run the following command to clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/GitW1n/GloryVim.git ~/.config/nvim

For Windows

Step 1: Open PowerShell or Command Prompt

1. Press Win + X and select "Windows PowerShell" or "Command Prompt".

Step 2: Clone the GloryVim Repository

1. Navigate to your desired configuration directory for Neovim (for example, C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Local\nvim). You can use the following command:

   cd $HOME\AppData\Local\nvim
   

5. Packer installation

If Packer is not installed, you can install it like this:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim \
  ~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/packer/start/packer.nvim

For Windows:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim `
  $HOME\AppData\Local\nvim\site\pack\packer\start\packer.nvim

6. Installing plugins

Open Neovim and run the following command to install the plugins:

:PackerInstall

7. Installing Treesitter Dependencies

Treesitter is required for improved syntax highlighting and other code features. Make sure you have gcc or clang compiler installed, as Treesitter uses them to build parsers.

Installing the compiler

For Ubuntu/Debian:

sudo apt install build-essential

Fedora:

sudo dnf install gcc gcc-c++

For macOS using Homebrew:

brew install gcc

Windows:

1. Make sure you have nvim-treesitter installed: Make sure the nvim-treesitter plugin is added to your plugins.lua file:

use 'nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter'

2. Opening Neovim: Launch Neovim and run the command to install the plugins:

:PackerInstall

3. Installing parsers: To install missing parsers, open Neovim and run the following command:

:TSInstall <language>

4. Replace with your preferred language (eg python, lua, javascript,html, css). To install all parsers use:

:TSInstall all

5. Verifying installation: Verify that the parsers are successfully installed by running the command:

:TSList

This command will show a list of installed parsers. 5. Additional dependencies: Some languages ​​may require you to install additional dependencies, such as tree-sitter-cli. You can install it via npm:

npm install -g tree-sitter-cli

8. Setting up dependencies

If you have specific dependencies for some plugins, follow the instructions in each plugin's documentation section.

Completing the installation

After completing all the steps you should have a fully working GloryVim configuration. Launch Neovim and check that all plugins and settings are working correctly.

Additional information

To familiarize yourself with the basic Neovim commands, you can run the :help command in the editor itself. To get repository updates, use the git pull command in the ~/.config/nvim folder.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues while installing or using GloryVim, try the following solutions:

1. Neovim Won't Start

• Ensure Neovim is in PATH: Make sure that the path to Neovim's bin directory is correctly added to the system PATH environment variable.
• Check Installation: Verify that you have extracted Neovim properly and that the executable nvim.exe is present in the bin directory.

2. Plugins Not Installing

• Packer Issues: If plugins are not installing with Packer, ensure that you have cloned Packer correctly.
• Verify Packer Installation:

Ensure that Packer is installed correctly in the right directory. The path should be: For Unix-based systems(ex. Linux): ~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/packer/start/packer.nvim For Windows: $HOME\AppData\Local\nvim\site\pack\packer\start\packer.nvim

• You can reinstall it by running the following command in PowerShell:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim `
  $HOME\AppData\Local\nvim\site\pack\packer\start\packer.nvim

Run :PackerSync: If plugins aren’t installing after a fresh setup, try running: If new errors are found, the guide will be updated to resolve them.
