AstroNvim is provided as a plugin that can be installed with the lazy.nvim plugin manager and then used to import all of the plugin configurations that AstroNvim provides. To quickly get started it is recommended to start with the official AstroNvim Template which provides a great starting point for a new AstroNvim based configuration.

mv ~/.config/nvim ~/.config/nvim.bak
mv ~/.local/share/nvim ~/.local/share/nvim.bak
mv ~/.local/state/nvim ~/.local/state/nvim.bak
mv ~/.cache/nvim ~/.cache/nvim.bak

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/AstroNvim/template ~/.config/nvim
rm -rf ~/.config/nvim/.git
nvim

Rename-Item -Path $env:LOCALAPPDATA\nvim -NewName $env:LOCALAPPDATA\nvim.bak
Rename-Item -Path $env:LOCALAPPDATA\nvim-data -NewName $env:LOCALAPPDATA\nvim-data.bak

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/AstroNvim/template $env:LOCALAPPDATA\nvim
Remove-Item $env:LOCALAPPDATA\nvim\.git -Recurse -Force
nvim

Some users might not want to use an entire template or do any customization. Here is a minimal ~/.config/nvim/init.lua file that simply sets up a base AstroNvim installation:

local lazypath = vim.fn.stdpath "data" .. "/lazy/lazy.nvim"
if not vim.uv.fs_stat(lazypath) then
  -- stylua: ignore
  vim.fn.system({ "git", "clone", "--filter=blob:none", "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git", "--branch=stable", lazypath })
end
vim.opt.rtp:prepend(lazypath)

require("lazy").setup { "AstroNvim/AstroNvim", version = "^6", import = "astronvim.plugins" }

Enter :LspInstall followed by the name of the server you want to install
Example: :LspInstall pyright

Enter :TSInstall followed by the name of the language you want to install
Example: :TSInstall python

Enter :DapInstall followed by the name of the debugger you want to install
Example: :DapInstall python

Run :Lazy check to check for plugin updates

Run :Lazy update to apply any pending plugin updates

Run :Lazy clean to remove any disabled or unused plugins

Run :Lazy sync to update and clean plugins

Run :AstroUpdate (<leader>pa) to update both Neovim plugins and Mason packages
