Error executing lua [string ":lua"]:200: module 'silicon' not found:

[atlas-comstock]

Updated: Running ./install.sh build during the installation process can help resolve the issue.

---

After installation, can not find the module of silicon I use the example config

require('silicon').setup {
  font = 'FantasqueSansMono Nerd Font=26',
  background = '#87f',
  theme = 'Monokai Extended',
  line_number = true,
  pad_vert = 80,
  pad_horiz = 50,
  output = {
    path = "/home/krivah/Pictures/Screenshots"
  },
  watermark = {
    text = ' @krivahtoo',
  },
  window_title = function()
    return vim.fn.fnamemodify(vim.fn.bufname(vim.fn.bufnr()), ':~:.')
  end,
}

here is the error message

I am having the exact same Issue with my lua config :

If you are using an ARM macbook you have to use the ./install.sh build command after installing silicion. Silicon is written in rust and currently no ARM build is provided.

So if you are using Plug you have to use

Plug 'krivahtoo/silicon.nvim', { 'do': './install.sh build' }

In order for that to work you need cargo on your system

Still not working, there's nothing like "silicon.lua" or a directory named after "silicon" in the "lua" directory, neovim cannot find the silicon module.

[krivahtoo]

Try running ./install.sh build in the install location of silicon.nvim.
