📋 Requirements

• Neovim: v0.9.0 or later
• Node.js: For LSP and code completion
• Python: For Python language support and general tools
• Git: For plugin management with lazy.nvim
• A Nerd Font: For icons and visual elements (recommended: JetBrains Mono or Fantasque Sans Mono)

Optional Dependencies

• Docker: For Docker plugin and container development
• Language Servers: Automatically installed for supported languages

Installation

1. Prerequisites

Ensure you have Neovim 0.9.0+ installed:

nvim --version

Install a Nerd Font. Popular choices:

• JetBrains Mono Nerd Font
• Fantasque Sans Mono Nerd Font

2. Clone the Configuration

Replace your existing Neovim config:

# Backup your current config if needed
mv ~/.config/nvim ~/.config/nvim.backup

# Clone this configuration
git clone <your-repo-url> ~/.config/nvim

3. Launch Neovim

nvim

Lazy.nvim will automatically:

• Download and install all plugins
• Install language servers and tools
• Set up the development environment

The first startup may take 2-3 minutes as plugins are downloaded and compiled.

    "rose-pine/neovim",
    name = "rose-pine",
    priority = 1000,
    lazy = false,
    config = function()
      require("rose-pine").setup({
        variant = "moon",
        styles = { transparency = true },
        disable_background = true,
        disable_float_background = true,
      })
      vim.cmd("colorscheme rose-pine-moon")
    end,
