Requirements

• git
• Neovim ≥ 0.5

Installation

Clone this repository.

For Unix-like systems:

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/savq/paq-nvim.git \
    "${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}"/nvim/site/pack/paqs/start/paq-nvim

For Windows:

git clone https://github.com/savq/paq-nvim.git "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\nvim-data\site\pack\paqs\start\paq-nvim"

To install Paq automatically or to install your plugins in --headless mode see the documentation section :h paq-bootstrapping.

Usage

In your init.lua, require the "paq" module with a list of packages, like:

require "paq" {
    "savq/paq-nvim";                  -- Let Paq manage itself

    "neovim/nvim-lspconfig";          -- Mind the semi-colons
    "hrsh7th/nvim-cmp";

    {"lervag/vimtex", opt=true};      -- Use braces when passing options
}

Then, source your configuration (using :source % or :luafile %) and run :PaqInstall.

NOTICE: Calling the paq function per package is deprecated. Users should now pass a list to the 'paq' module instead.

Commands

• PaqInstall: Install all packages listed in your configuration.
• PaqUpdate: Update all packages already on your system (it won't implicitly install them).
• PaqClean: Remove all packages (in Paq's directory) that aren't listed on your configuration.
• PaqSync: Execute the three operations listed above.

Options

For more details on each option, refer to the documentation.
