ALK's Nixvim Configuration

Testing

You can try out my configuration by running the following command in your shell:

nix run github:alcestide/nixvim

Alternatively, you could:

git clone https://github.com/alcestide/nixvim

and then run nix run . inside the cloned directory.

Installation

To make this configuration persistent, you can either use flakes (easier) or the standalone method. Here’s how:

Flakes

• In your flake.nix, create inside inputs:

    nixvim = {
      url = "github:alcestide/nixvim";
    };

Then simply add it to your packages like this:

    inputs.nixvim.packages."x86_64-linux".default

Standalone

• Create a variable for your Nixvim config directory (I put mine inside the same directory of configuration.nix).
• Create another variable and assign to it nixvim.legacyPackages."${pkgs.stdenv.hostPlatform.system}" (in this case the variable is named "alknix", but you can call it as you like).
• Pass the Nixvim config as a module to the makeNixvimWithModule function as shown below:

let
	nixvim-config = import ./nixvim/config;
alknixvim = nixvim.legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.makeNixvimWithModule {
	inherit pkgs;
	module = nixvim-config;};
in

Add the newly created package to your systemPackages list:

environment.systemPackages = [
    alknixvim
];

Finally, rebuild your NixOS configuration by running: sudo nixos-rebuild switch This should set everything up. If you encounter issues:

• Check for version mismatches between nixvim and nixpkgs inside your flake.nix. Make sure they're both the same version!
• Review the logs for any errors that might indicate what’s going wrong.
