kickstart nvim targets only the latest neovim version. The recent updates (including the nvim-treesitter rewrite) unfortunately might involve some extra work. The install recipe for Ubuntu also includes unzip, to be fair! Do you have any suggestions to improve the docs? |

I didn't know that the package is outdated in ubuntu's repos :( There is a link in the requirements section to the instructions for Maybe we should add a note to the install recipes to only install it from the repos if it is not outdated, similar to the nvim installation section. |

Hello. I am here to say this since i have sufferred greatly in the search of how to install kickstart nvim. (this is in linux, more specifically ubuntu. Any debian based system works, other distros that dont use apt still need to download the stuff with their package managers, if you use windows, use wsl)
I know it seems simple, but it isn't.
When installing i had one fierced enemy: tree sitter.
So, i will explain everything.
If you just clone the repo, tree sitter will bitch about "build-wasm" and build. This is because if you download tree sitter from apt, you will download an outdated version (0.20, latest is 0.26). We will use cargo. Although, tree sitter also bitches about rustc most likely. So download the nightly version of rustup and set it as default. Finally, stylua will ALSO bitch. To shut it up, you install zip and unzip.
This took me maybe 7 hours trying to get this right.
