Installation

leanpack.nvim offers multiple installation methods. Choose the one that best fits your workflow.

Requirements

• Neovim 0.12.0 or later
• Git (required by vim.pack)

Methods

1. Bootstrap (Recommended)

This is the recommended method for most users. Add this to the top of your init.lua:

-- Setup leanpack.nvim plugin manager
vim.pack.add({ { src = "https://github.com/ntk148v/leanpack.nvim" } })
require("leanpack").setup()

This method:

• Automatically installs leanpack.nvim if not present
• Works on fresh systems without manual setup
• Can be combined with other bootstrap managers

2. Manual Installation with vim.pack

If you already have Neovim set up:

-- Install with vim.pack directly
vim.pack.add({ 'ntk148v/leanpack.nvim' })

-- Then setup in your init.lua
require("leanpack").setup()

3. Using a Package Manager

Using packer.nvim

use 'ntk148v/leanpack.nvim'

Using lazy.nvim

{ 'ntk148v/leanpack.nvim' }

Using vim-plug

Plug 'ntk148v/leanpack.nvim'
