> [!NOTE]
> [1] All downloadable Nerd Fonts contain icons which are used by AstroNvim. Install the Nerd Font of your choice to your system and in your terminal emulator settings, set its font face to that Nerd Font. If you are using AstroNvim on a remote system via SSH, you do not need to install the font on the remote system.
> [!NOTE]
> [2] Note when using default theme: For MacOS, the default terminal does not have true color support. You will need to use [iTerm2](https://iterm2.com/), [Kitty](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/), [WezTerm](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/), or another [terminal emulator](https://gist.github.com/XVilka/8346728#terminal-emulators) that has true color support.
## 🛠️ Installation
AstroNvim is provided as a plugin that can be installed with the [`lazy.nvim`](https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim) plugin manager and then used to import all of the plugin configurations that AstroNvim provides. To quickly get started it is recommended to start with the official [AstroNvim Template](https://github.com/AstroNvim/template) which provides a great starting point for a new AstroNvim based configuration.
### Linux/Mac OS (Unix)
#### Make a backup of your current nvim and shared folder
```shell
mv ~/.config/nvim ~/.config/nvim.bak
mv ~/.local/share/nvim ~/.local/share/nvim.bak
mv ~/.local/state/nvim ~/.local/state/nvim.bak
mv ~/.cache/nvim ~/.cache/nvim.bak
```
#### Clone the template repository
```shell
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/AstroNvim/template ~/.config/nvim
rm -rf ~/.config/nvim/.git
nvim
```
#### Clone this repo with edit permissions
```shell
git clone --depth 1 ssh://git@git.linuxhg.com:2222/john-okeefe/AstroNvim.git ~/.config/nvim
nvim
```
### Windows (Powershell)
#### Make a backup of your current nvim and nvim-data folder
```pwsh
Rename-Item -Path $env:LOCALAPPDATA\nvim -NewName $env:LOCALAPPDATA\nvim.bak
Rename-Item -Path $env:LOCALAPPDATA\nvim-data -NewName $env:LOCALAPPDATA\nvim-data.bak
```
#### Clone the repository
```pwsh
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/AstroNvim/template $env:LOCALAPPDATA\nvim
Remove-Item $env:LOCALAPPDATA\nvim\.git -Recurse -Force
nvim
```
#### Clone this repo with edit permissions
```pwsh
git clone --depth 1 ssh://git@git.linuxhg.com:2222/john-okeefe/AstroNvim.git $env:LOCALAPPDATA\nvim
nvim
```
#### Minimal `~/.config/nvim/init.lua`
Some user's might not want to use an entire template or do any customization. Here is a minimal `~/.config/nvim/init.lua` file that simply set's up a base AstroNvim installation:
```lua
local lazypath = vim.fn.stdpath "data" .. "/lazy/lazy.nvim"
if not (vim.uv or vim.loop).fs_stat(lazypath) then
-- stylua: ignore
vim.fn.system({ "git", "clone", "--filter=blob:none", "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git", "--branch=stable", lazypath })
end
vim.opt.rtp:prepend(lazypath)
require("lazy").setup { "AstroNvim/AstroNvim", version = "^4", import = "astronvim.plugins" }
```
## 📦 Basic Setup
#### Install LSP
Enter `:LspInstall` followed by the name of the server you want to install
Example: `:LspInstall pyright`
#### Install language parser
Enter `:TSInstall` followed by the name of the language you want to install
Example: `:TSInstall python`
#### Install Debugger
Enter `:DapInstall` followed by the name of the debugger you want to install
