nvim-nix v2

A Neovim configuration as a Nix flake ❄️ template

This flake uses nixvim to configure neovim in a declarative manner. Since this configuration uses nixvim, this means that it is entirely written in Nix with some custom Lua sprinkled in here and there.

Note

I am no longer using this configuration, so I will not be maintaining it. Refer to nyanvim for my current neovim configuration.

Running the flake

To run this nix flake simply run the following command

nix run github:dileep-kishore/neovim

Note

You will need to install the nix package manager before you can run the previous command

Or you can use home-manager to add this flake to your setup like so:

{
    inputs.neovim = {
      url = "github:dileep-kishore/neovim";
      inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
    };
}

And then install it by adding inputs.neovim.packages.${system}.default to your packages

Manual Installation

The julia language server is not currently supported by nixpkgs, so you will need to install it manually.

julia --project=~/.julia/environments/nvim-lspconfig -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.add("LanguageServer")'
