Neovim

Install Neovim

cd Downloads
wget https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/download/stable/nvim-linux64.deb
sudo apt install ./nvim-linux64.deb
nvim -v

Install Dein

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Shougo/dein-installer.vim/master/installer.sh
chmod +x installer.sh

I wanted it to be in my .config/nvim directory instead of .local/share/dein so i switched it.

./installer.sh ~/.local/share/dein ~/.config/nvim

Add the following to install nvim-lspconfig and bash-language server:

call dein#add('neovim/nvim-lspconfig')
call dein#add('bash-lsp/bash-language-server')

Then install it :call dein#install()

Add the following in init.vim

local >> EOF
local lspconfig = require('lspconfig')
lspconfig.bashls.setup{}
lspconfig.rust_analyzer.setup{}
EOF

Adding Node

sudo apt install npm Using package manager will install an old version 8.5.1 to be specific, so when you try to install bash language-server it will fail.

Instead we are going to do the following:

Download it from node website then

wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v18.15.0/node-v18.15.0-linux-x64.tar.xz
tar -xf node-v18.15.0-linux-x64.tar.xz
cd node-v18.15.0-linux-x64

We will then copy the following directories

sudo cp -r ./{lib,share,include,bin} /usr/local

you can check if its installed by doing:

node --version
v18.15.0

then install bash-language server

sudo npm install -g bash-language-server

install Shellcheck sudo apt install shellcheck
