makeNixvim and man nixvim not appearing for default flake setup

[Readf0x]

Hey, I recently installed nixvim as a standalone flake using the recommended template and neither the nixvim man page or makeNixvim have been installed. Do I need to run it some other way than nix run?

nix run doesn't install anything. You can use nix shell to enter a "shell" where the package is installed, however to install things persistently, you need to add them to your system config, e.g. your nixos config or your home-manager config.

For example, in my system flake I have a standalone packages.<system>.nvim flake output. I then pass my flake itself through to my config modules using specialArgs, and install self.packages.${pkgs.system}.nvim in my home.packages.

I actually initially wanted to use home-manager but the init.lua it generated failed to import my plugins, so I assumed it was bugged, in reality I forgot to update my flake... 🤦

I also misread the documentation and assumed makeNixvim was a command LOL

Anyways, thanks for the help, your config was a big help, if only because it showed me how wrong my preconceptions were. I didn't really understand flakes at the time of that post (pretty obvious, I'm sure).
