How can we help you?

I am getting this error. How can i solve it?

So I've installed zk via "Build from scratch" method. Ran make. No compile error. Ran `zk new --title "xxx". This error was thrown.

I am use NVim with AstroVim distro, not sure how those two would connect...

Any help would be appreciated! I really want to use this software. Thx alot🙏🏽

Try to set EDITOR or VISUAL environment variable, for example export EDITOR=nvim. There is also an option to change the editor in the configuration file .zk/config.toml under the [tool] section.

export EDITOR=nvim works and solve my problem. Thx

I don't know why but I dont have the zk config folder .zk/config.toml in my ~ directory

It should be in your notebook directory created with zk init. Have a look at https://github.com/mickael-menu/zk/blob/main/docs/getting-started.md and https://github.com/mickael-menu/zk/blob/main/docs/config.md.

Got it! Thx :D

You can also set it globally in ~/.config/zk/config.toml. But setting your EDITOR env variable is the "proper" way to fix this.
