## Documentation
You can find all of the documentation for Lunarvim at [lunarvim.org](https://www.lunarvim.org)
## Install In One Command!
Make sure you have the release version of Neovim (0.5).
If you have previously installed LunarVim, make sure to remove `/usr/local/bin/lvim`, as we've moved the launcher to `~/.local/bin/lvim`
``` bash
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lunarvim/lunarvim/master/utils/installer/install.sh)
```
## Install Language support
- Enter `:LspInstall` followed by `` to see your options for LSP
- Enter `:TSInstall` followed by `` to see your options for syntax highlighting
**NOTE** I recommend installing `lua` for autocomplete in `config.lua`



## Configuration file
To install plugins configure LunarVim use the `config.lua` located here: `~/.config/lvim/config.lua`
Example:
```lua
-- general
lvim.format_on_save = true
lvim.colorscheme = "onedarker"
lvim.leader = "space"
-- add your own keymapping
lvim.keys.normal_mode[""] = ":w"
-- unmap a default keymapping
-- lvim.keys.normal_mode[""] = ""
-- edit a default keymapping
-- lvim.keys.normal_mode[""] = ":q"
-- set keymap with custom opts
-- lvim.keys.insert_mode["po"] = {'', { noremap = true }}
-- Use which-key to add extra bindings with the leader-key prefix
-- lvim.builtin.which_key.mappings["P"] = { "Telescope projects", "Projects" }
-- Configure builtin plugins
lvim.builtin.dashboard.active = true
lvim.builtin.terminal.active = true
-- Treesitter parsers change this to a table of the languages you want i.e. {"java", "python", javascript}
lvim.builtin.treesitter.ensure_installed = "maintained"
lvim.builtin.treesitter.ignore_install = { "haskell" }
-- Disable virtual text
lvim.lsp.diagnostics.virtual_text = false
-- set a formatter if you want to override the default lsp one (if it exists)
lvim.lang.python.formatters = {
{
exe = "black",
args = {}
}
}
-- set an additional linter
lvim.lang.python.linters = {
{
exe = "flake8",
args = {}
}
}
-- Additional Plugins
lvim.plugins = {
{"lunarvim/colorschemes"},
{"folke/tokyonight.nvim"}, {
"ray-x/lsp_signature.nvim",
config = function() require"lsp_signature".on_attach() end,
event = "InsertEnter"
}
}
```
## Updating LunarVim
In order to update you should be aware of three things `Plugins`, `LunarVim` and `Neovim`
To update plugins:
```
:PackerUpdate
```
To update LunarVim:
```bash
cd ~/.local/share/lunarvim/lvim && git pull
lvim +LvimCacheReset +PackerUpdate
```
## Known Issues
If you get either of the following errors
- init.lua:6: module 'bootstrap' not found:
- /home/user/.config/nvim/config.lua not found, falling back to /home/user/.config/nvim/lv-config.lua
Try the following methods:
1. clear up the cache files used by the startup processing. You can either pass it as an argument
```bash
lvim +LvimCacheReset
```
or just call it manually when inside LunarVim `:LvimCacheReset`
2. make sure your `lvim` binary is up-to-date
```bash
LUNARVIM_RUNTIME_DIR="${LUNARVIM_RUNTIME_DIR:-$HOME/.local/share/lunarvim}"
bash "$LUNARVIM_RUNTIME_DIR/utils/installer/install_bin.sh"
```
