How does this actually work on someone's local machine? about nvim

[ecosse3]

Hi,
thank you for feedback!

Since I get this question quite often today I will work on installation shell script. I will let you know when it will be done!

First you have to make sure to install Packer:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim\
~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/packer/start/packer.nvim

Then you can try to run PackerInstall in headless mode first:

nvim --headless +'PackerCompile' +q
nvim --headless +'PackerInstall' +q

Then you can start nvim :)

Oh snap, I did not try running Packer in headless mode! But of course I know that Packer had to be installed first (obviously lol. I'm a noob but not that much of a noob haha).

An installation script for this incredible config would of course be everyone's dream who has been wanting to use this setup and get the same exact UI that you show in your pics.

In the meantime I will try this headless mode option. Thanks so much for the super fast reply!!

(PS, I'm in the middle of like a million different things at once, so if you had a donation button/link that I missed, please either provide it here or DM me, cause I would certainly be willing to donate something for your super hard efforts...)

@LSleutsky I just added an installation script in install_script branch. Could you check it out?

You have to clone the repo from this branch and put it to .config/nvim. Then go to this dir and put commands:

chmod +x .install/run.sh
.install/run.sh

Just follow instructions and let me know if that works!
Of course, script will need more changes but I can work on that in days.

Using it with mac , I think one particular module is failing :

(sorry for the sceenshot , could not copy the text)

@pvamshi Does it happen during installation via script or after the first run of neovim?
I think it can happen that cmp-tabnine is not installed during installation but we try to use it after the first run.

If you select "Install Plugins" after first run of Ecovim in Dashboard then it works well on the next run?
I'll try to install tabnine via its shell script as well during installation of Ecovim.

@LSleutsky Were you able to test it?

@LSleutsky Were you able to test it?

@ecosse3 -- My bad, I was unavailable for the last few days and had not had a chance to implement the most current fixes/changes. The commits look promising though, and will definitely get to this in just a couple hours, and make sure to close the issue...

So finally able to get to my computer and test this. Same issue with the install script with PackerInstall not being an editor command. Will try to tinker with this and hopefully I can get it working. Will report back if I find anything...

Yea so, I can't get past the Packer issue. Tried on 3 different machines. Sucks, really wanted to try this config. Maybe down the road I can try it again. Thanks anyway...
