dino.nvim is my personalized Neovim configuration, tailored to suit my coding preferences and workflow. It provides an optimized and feature-rich development environment for various programming languages, including Python, C++, Lua, and JSON. The configuration is built with simplicity and efficiency in mind, aiming to boost productivity and enhance the overall coding experience.

Prerequisites

Before setting up dino.nvim, ensure that the following dependencies are installed on your system:

• Node Version Manager (nvm): For managing Node.js versions.
• NodeJS: Required to compile many plugins.
• Clangd: For C++ language server support.
• Python: For compilation and language server support.
• xclip: Enables clipboard functionality.
• xdg-utils: Required for Markdown preview functionality specifically for WSL.
• Unzip: Required for installing clangd and in general many other packages which requires unzipping.

To install nvm and Node.js LTS, follow the instructions in the nvm repository.

# On Ubuntu/Debian-based systems, you can install xclip, xdg-utils, and unzip using:
