### Install Kickstart
> [!NOTE]
> [Backup](#FAQ) your previous configuration (if any exists)
Neovim's configurations are located under the following paths, depending on your OS:
| OS | PATH |
| :- | :--- |
| Linux, MacOS | `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim`, `~/.config/nvim` |
| Windows (cmd)| `%localappdata%\nvim\` |
| Windows (powershell)| `$env:LOCALAPPDATA\nvim\` |
#### Recommended Step
#### Clone kickstart.nvim
Linux and Mac
```sh
git clone https://github.com/FlorianTeich/kickstart.nvim.git "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}"/nvim
```
Windows
If you're using `cmd.exe`:
```
git clone https://github.com/FlorianTeich/kickstart.nvim.git "%localappdata%\nvim"
```
If you're using `powershell.exe`
```
git clone https://github.com/FlorianTeich/kickstart.nvim.git "${env:LOCALAPPDATA}\nvim"
```
Windows with Microsoft C++ Build Tools and CMake
Installation may require installing build tools and updating the run command for `telescope-fzf-native`
See `telescope-fzf-native` documentation for [more details](https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim#installation)
This requires:
- Install CMake and the Microsoft C++ Build Tools on Windows
```lua
{'nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim', build = 'cmake -S. -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release && cmake --build build --config Release && cmake --install build --prefix build' }
```
Windows with gcc/make using chocolatey
Alternatively, one can install gcc and make which don't require changing the config,
the easiest way is to use choco:
1. install [chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/install)
either follow the instructions on the page or use winget,
run in cmd as **admin**:
```
winget install --accept-source-agreements chocolatey.chocolatey
```
2. install all requirements using choco, exit the previous cmd and
open a new one so that choco path is set, and run in cmd as **admin**:
```
choco install -y neovim git ripgrep wget fd unzip gzip mingw make
```
WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)
```
wsl --install
wsl
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:neovim-ppa/unstable -y
sudo apt update
sudo apt install make gcc ripgrep unzip git xclip neovim
```
Ubuntu Install Steps
```
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:neovim-ppa/unstable -y
sudo apt update

sudo ln -sf /opt/nvim-linux-x86_64/bin/nvim /usr/local/bin/
```
Fedora Install Steps
```
sudo dnf install -y gcc make git ripgrep fd-find unzip neovim
