Neovim

Put the .appimage in ~/.local/bin.

Recommended:

sudo apt-get install make gcc ripgrep unzip git xclip

To test a different setup, simply rename ~/.config/nvim and delete/rename all nvim folders in .local:

~/.local/share/nvim
~/.local/state/nvim

This is also created:

~/.cache/nvim

From Scratch

Installing the lazy package manager needs the following files:

~/.config/nvim
├── lua
│   ├── config
│   │   └── lazy.lua
└── init.lua

Create ~/.config/nvim/lua/config/lazy.lua and Put the code into lazy.lua and tell init.luaabout it:

require("config.lazy")

After restart, it pulls the git repo and neovim now uses the lazy package manager.

To install a package e.g. Telescope, create an arbitrary .lua file in config/plugins and return a table:

return {
    {
        "nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim",
        opts = {}
    },
}

In lazy.lua we already specified the pluginsfolder as the folder to look for plugin specs.

This is the folder structure now:

└── ~/
    └── .config/
        └── nvim/
              ├── lua
              │   ├── config
              │   │   └── lazy.lua
              │   └── plugins
              │       ├── importThis.lua
              └── init.lua
