  git clone https://github.com/frtzhahn/nvim-setup.git ~/.config/nvim

  nvim

  Lazy.nvim will automatically start installing plugins once finished run :Mason to verify LSPs are installed.

---

setting up this config (winslop 10/11)

• create a dir to store the config files and clone the repo inside of it

  mkdir $env:LOCALAPPDATA\nvim -Force
  git clone https://github.com/frtzhahn/nvim-setup.git $env:LOCALAPPDATA\nvim

• font setup: open windows terminal, go to Settings > Defaults > Appearance, and set the Font face to a Nerd Font (e.g., Cascadia Code NF or JetBrainsMono NF).

• launch & sync: type nvim in your terminal - Lazy.nvim will automatically start downloading all plugins - restart nvim - run :Mason inside Neovim to ensure your LSPs (like lua_ls, pyright, etc.) are being installed.
