  • mason.nvim

    Portable package manager for Neovim that runs everywhere Neovim runs. Easily install and manage LSP servers, DAP servers, linters, and formatters.

  • As far as I know, this means that the Mason package manager has been installed.

  • neovim

    Vim-fork focused on extensibility and usability

  • Huh, maybe that's the problem. You could try running the appimage from the releases page.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • packer.nvim

    A use-package inspired plugin manager for Neovim. Uses native packages, supports Luarocks dependencies, written in Lua, allows for expressive config

  • I would actually use Packer to install Mason - and the dozen or so other things you will invariably end up using. Vim-Plug is another popular option, but so far I've been very happy with what Packer has provided. To get started with Packer, go through the Readme on the github repo for instructions. I would clone Packer in per the first part of the instructions, then add the file CONFIG_BASE/lua/plugin.lua. That file should start with the following:

  • Puts Debuggerer

    Ruby library for improved puts debugging, automatically displaying bonus useful information such as source line number and source code.

  • Add new packages per the instructions on the github repos. You will have a series of lines under use 'wbthomason/packer.nvim' that list out your packages. To install them, find the Github repo and use everything AFTER https://github.com/, so in the case of Mason, you are using adding the line use 'williamboman/mason.nvim'
