To leverage LSP auto-completions and other functionalities, after you open a
file in Neovim, run :LspInstall <server> to use
nvim-lsp-installer installation feature.
Use Tab to list available servers.
Here are some common LSP server installations:
:LspInstall html cssls jsonls yamlls:LspInstall gopls:LspInstall pylsp:LspInstall bashls vimls sumneko_lua:LspInstall diagnosticls- and moreβ¦
cd ~/.config/lvim
git pull
lvim # run :PackerSyncbrew install luarocks
luarocks install luacheck # if you want to use luacheck
cargo install selene # if you want to use selene instead of luacheck
brew install hadolint # if you want to lint dockerfiles
pip install vim-vint # for vim linting
# install llvm and clang_format for clang stuff
npm install -g @fsouza/prettierd # if you want to use prettierd
pip install yapf flake8 black # for python stuff
# if you want to use the markdown thingy
brew install vale markdownlint-cli
cp -r ~/.config/lvim/.vale ~/.config/vale
# fix the address inside .vale.ini
cp ~/.config/lvim/vale_config.ini ~/.vale.ini
# if you want the latex stuff
# brew install --cask mactex-no-gui # for mac
# or install zathura and chktex on linuxIn case you want a better tex support in mac, check this out
if you want the custom gostructhelper, first get the pkg:
cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/vanhtuan0409/gostructhelper.git
cd gostructhelper/cmds/gostructhelper
go build -o /usr/local/bin/gostructhelper && chmod 0755 /usr/local/bin/gostructhelperThe default is to serve localhost only, on port 8080. For a more advanced (remote server) overview see Deploy a server
:InstantStartServer [host] [port]: Start the server using:InstantStartSingle [host] [port]: This only shares the current buffer.:InstantStartSession [host] [port]:This shares all opened (and newly opened) buffers with the other clients
