hi all, i tried installing through apt and got an older 0.6.4 and i tried installing through an appimage but for some reason nvchad didnt accept it. also what is nerdfonts and is that the default for linux mint? been at this for an hour and am very confused
I am assuming you had a typo and mean NvChad (edit: just now realized you did mention NvChad in the title already). Yes you can, but calling flatpak applications on the command line is kinda weird so I would actually suggest an alias if you want to be able to just type
nvimin your terminal.To start the flatpak version of neovim via the CLI you’ll need to type
flatpak run io.neovim.nvim. Of course you don’t want to do that, so you can tell your terminal to remember that whenever you typenvimyou actually meantflatpak run io.neovim.nvim. To do that you can put the following in your terminal:alias nvim='flatpak run io.neovim.nvim'As far as I understand, NvChad is a plugin for neovim. The command they provide for installing it just downloads the necessary files to the default config location for neovim, and starts neovim. however the flatpak version of neovim seems to be using a different location for it’s configuration. This blog post seems to say that the config location for flatpak neovim is
~/.var/app/io.neovim.nvim/config/nvim/, so you’ll probably have to move the files there for NvChad to work.i tried copying and pasting into the config file in the flatpak but it just ignored them and recreated thw original flatpak filws?
I don’t think I’ll be able to help you with this issue, sorry
thats cool dw :3
Nvchad is a ready made neovim config, that can be extended, not just a plugin.
hi! have you foubd out if nvchad works on flatpak?
Haven’t gotten to try yet, will do
awesome!!
For me personally, it doesnt load my configs. So better use appimage
does appimage get added to the bottom left app menu? it doesnt for me
No, you’d have to add a desktop file
and how do you do that
is the appimage really not an option? I think if you did what the original comment told you it should work.
tried but it was funny, wouldnt lrt me doubld click into it and its ui was weirf
I never used neovim so I’m not so familiar with the functionalities/terms. I was torn between writing plugin or config, but I thought a plugin would be more relevant. I’m assuming a plugin can change more than a config could.
The config for modern neovim users mainly consists of plugins and configs for plugins.
