Prerequisites :

  • Mac OS / Windows 10 (Preferable any Linux distro)
  • A Excellent Terminal
  • Your peaceful mind .. (Because you may get mad if something goes wrong )
  • Vim ( for that I will refer this article. Thanks to Alexander González Fertel )

Step 1 : Installing Neovim in your OS

Well, I am a Linux man so I have Endeavour OS installed on my PC. But I also have Windows on dual boot so I have installed it on Windows too. So firsly go the Github Page of Neovim .

Now lemme tell you that we are gonna use Github alot so please log in to your account or create a account before proceeding further. So now lets install neovim on PC. If you're a Linux user then great ! you only have to use a CLI to install it :

Debian & Ubuntu

sudo apt install neovim

Arch & Manjaro

sudo pacman -Sy neovim

If on Windows or Mac ..

Just go to this link and install your favourable file for installing Neovim. But wait for Windows users if you want you can use WSL for easy and nice way of installation. I am going to make that post in few days... stay tuned !

Windows using Scoop

scoop bucket add versions
