Neovim setup for OSX users

Make sure your iTerm settings look like this:

Install neovim

brew install neovim/neovim/neovim

Install vim-plug

curl -fLo ~/.config/nvim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim

Enable python support

Some plugins require this. It's important.

brew install python
/usr/local/bin/pip install neovim
/usr/local/bin/pip install --upgrade neovim

Fix problems with iTerm

christoomey/vim-tmux-navigator#71

put this in your ~/.bash_profile

infocmp $TERM | sed 's/kbs=^[hH]/kbs=\177/' > $TERM.ti
tic $TERM.ti

Put this in your ~/.config/nvim/init.vim

neovim/neovim#3702

set mouse=

To compile YouCompleteMe

cd .config/nvim/plugged/YouCompleteMe
./install.py --clang-completer

from ycm-core/YouCompleteMe#1707

To trim a few lines from the init.vim, check :help nvim-defaults.

It's also a good idea to run :CheckHealth after a new install or upgrade.

@justinmk done. tks

@celso Many thanks for this. It is working like a charm. I have a question for line 53 are you setting this to work only for 2.7 python version? Is this a configuration that I need to take into account and update soon?

@celso Sorry but what is the font you use in your image?

@celso Cannot found molokai256. Could u share how did you setup molokai256?

I'm having the same issue

@amadeu01 @rsoc39 I'm guessing it's tomasr/molokai colorscheme. You'd install it like any other plugin with vim-plug:

" Plugins here
call plug#begin('~/.config/nvim/plugged')
Plug 'SirVer/ultisnips' | Plug 'honza/vim-snippets'
...
...
Plug 'terryma/vim-multiple-cursors'
Plug 'tomasr/molokai'
call plug#end()

@ipwnponies thanks!

For those who can't get pip installed once doing brew install python, you can use sudo easy_install pip (to install pip in /usr/local/bin) to make the subsequent commands work.

TLDR; no one should need to be concerned about installing pip in 2020. These instructions are very dated, probably back to pre-2016. Update your system and python installation first.

pip has been bundled with python since 3.4. The oldest supported version of Python (as of this writing) is 3.6. Before you start working around a missing pip installation, I implore you to ensure your system is up-to-date and you're working with modern versions of python. If you have the misfortune of being constrained to python 2.7, note that pip has been bundled since 2.7.9.

If you've heeded my warnings and are moving forward with manually installing pip, the correct command is

python -m ensurepip --default-pip

I believe some kind of system clipboard sync is also desirable
like set clipboard+=unnamedplus

set esckeys is no longer supported

Might also just be called pip3, so pip3 install neovim. It whines a lot about deprecation and stuff though.
