Could I use PlugInstall in init.vim for this plugin?

[fathurwithyou]

I havent setup the lazy yet, could I use only init.vim?

[LelouchFR]

yes, by simply doing:

Plug 'nvimdev/dashboard-nvim'

then:

lua << EOF
require'dashboard'.setup{}
EOF

after that, close vim and reopen it and run :PlugInstall.

it would be nice if someone closed this issue since it's probably solved
