System Reqiurements

These are the requirements to make use of this neovim configuration.

Neovim 0.10 or later
git
tar

Platform specific requirements

Windows:

powershell
One of the following executables needs to be available:
- 7z
- peazip
- arc
- wzszip
- rar

Linux, macOS and other BSD variants:

curl or wget
unzip
gzip

Optional

The following are optional but provides additional features:

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

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. See here for more information.

You will need to manually install jsregexp on windows, while it's installed automatically on other platforms using make and gcc.

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 the top of lua/lsp/init.lua or disable them in lua/lsp/config/<server>.lua.
