# System Reqiurements
These are the requirements to make use of this neovim configuration. Currently only supports GNU/Linux.

- Neovim 0.10 or later
- curl or wget
- unzip
- gzip
- git
- tar
    
*Note: You may try using windows, but last time I checked there was a problem with the completion engine (nvim-cmp) that makes it impossible to traverse the drop-down list.*

## Optional

The following are optional but provides additional features:

- make
- gcc and g++
- npm
- python3 with venv
- java runtime
- shellcheck

The sections below describes this in more detail.

### Treesitter
Some parsers require tools for compilation, like `gcc` and/or `g++`. There are far too many parsers for me to list (and keep track of) all their dependencies here, but `gcc` and `g++` should cover a lot of them. You will generally encounter an error that describes if something is missing upon opening specific filetypes, because treesitter is configured to automatically install parsers when needed.

### LuaSnip
`jsregexp` is required in order to perform some [transformations](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/userdefinedsnippets#_variable-transforms). See [here](https://github.com/L3MON4D3/LuaSnip/blob/master/DOC.md#transformations) for more information. You don't need to install this yourself, because it will attempt to compile it automatically using `make` and `gcc`. If either `make` or `gcc` is not available you might see an error in the lazy installation of LuaSnip.

### Language servers
Language servers are installed automatically to the nvim data directory (`:echo stdpath('data') .. '/mason'`). The following are some noted requirements for the installations themselves:

- **diagnostic-languageserver**: npm
- **bash-language-server**: npm
- **cmake-language-server**: python3 with venv
- **jedi-language-server**: python3 with venv
- **groovy-language-server**: java

Some servers have additional runtime dependencies:

- **bash-language-server**: shellcheck (optional, used for linting)

If you don't need some specific language server, and want to get rid of any warning messages, you may either remove them from `lua/lsp/servers/init.lua` or disable them in `lua/lsp/servers/<server>.lua`.

### Clipboard
see `:checkhealth` and `:h clipboard`.
