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.

Language servers

Language servers are installed automatically to the nvim data directory (:echo stdpath('data') .. '/mason') upon entering a buffer of related filetype. Automatic installation can be turned off, see the end of this section for instructions.

Some language servers have additional dependencies. If they are missing a warning will show up and the server will be disabled. Each dependency is listed in the server configuration under lua/lsp/config/<server>.lua.

If you don't need some specific language server, you can disable them in lua/lsp/config/<server>.lua.

To disable automatic installation of a selected language server, remove or comment out the mason part of the configuration at lua/lsp/config/<server>.lua.
