I'll start by saying I'm super new to vim, so I'm messing around with make a configuration from scratch. As such, I'd like to use nix as my plugin manager; However, I'm seemingly failing to install nvim-tree, and I was hoping someone could point out what I'm missing.
programs.neovim = {
enable = true;
defaultEditor = true;
viAlias = true;
vimAlias = true;
vimdiffAlias = true;
plugins = with pkgs.vimPlugins; [
# nerdtree
nvim-tree-lua
vim-sleuth
catppuccin-nvim
];
extraConfig = lib.fileContents ./init.vim;
};
This works for installing the other plugins. But I can't seem to access nvim-tree. According to the website (https://github.com/nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua), I should be able enter :NvimTreeOpen
in neovim, but I get "Not an editor command: NvimTreeOpen." Any ideas?
Thanks.
I just ran into this too and you have to add an extra config that initializes the plugin like in the nix neovim docs.
I ended up switching to helix out of spite.
