# Create directory
mkdir -p ~/.config/nvim

# Get starter nvim config from https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim
cd ~/.config/nvim
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim/master/init.lua

# On any OS, locate the configuration directory used for nvim with
:echo stdpath('config')
# e.g. on Windows it is %AppData%/Local/nvim

Read through init.lua to understand installed packages and keymaps

LazyVim - Neovim Configuration

Source: LazyVim From Scratch To BEAST MODE

Goal is set up Neovim with LazyVim distribution for common editing tasks to start use with computer programming languages.

Follow LazyVim Install instructions and its documentation for description of its files and usage.
On first run of nvim, plugins and configurations will be set up
Recommend to look through key mappings. You can search key mappings to discover them and their functions with leader + s + k.

Astrovim - Neovim configuration

Install using Getting Started section of Astronvim Documentation.
Can install plugins using lazy.nvim such as putting single lua files per plugin to plugins directory, for example, for orgmode add orgmode.lua to plugins directory with block in orgmode install instructions.

Use Astrovim with existing nvim configuration:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/AstroNvim/template ~/.config/astronvim
# Set nvim configuration to use
export NVIM_APPNAME='astronvim'
nvim

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/AstroNvim/template $env:LOCALAPPDATA\astronvim
# Set nvim configuration to use
$env:NVIM_APPNAME = "astronvim"
nvim

Enabling NvChad/menu in lazyvim

-- mouse users + nvimtree users!
vim.keymap.set("n", "<RightMouse>", function()
  vim.cmd.exec('"normal! \\<RightMouse>"')

  local options = vim.bo.ft == "NvimTree" and "nvimtree" or "default"
  require("menu").open(options, { mouse = true })
end, {})

return {
  {
    { "nvchad/volt", lazy = true },
    {
      "nvchad/menu",
      config = function()
        local options = "default" -- Load default menus
        local opts = { mouse = true, border = false }
        require("menu").open(options, opts)
      end,
      -- opts = { mouse = true, border = false },
      -- config = function()
      --   require("menu").open("menu", { mouse = true, border = false })
      -- end,
      lazy = true,
    },
  },
}
