### Post Installation
Start Neovim
```sh
nvim
```
The `Lazy` plugin manager will start automatically on the first run and install the configured plugins. After the installation is complete you can press `q` to close the `Lazy` UI and **you are ready to go**! Next time you run nvim `Lazy` will no longer show up.
If you would prefer to hide this step and run the plugin sync from the command line, you can use:
2023-09-05 12:12:56 +00:00
```sh
nvim --headless "+Lazy! sync" +qa
```
### FAQ
* What should I do if I already have a pre-existing neovim configuration?
* You should back it up, then delete all files associated with it.
* This includes your existing init.lua and the neovim files in `%userprofile%\AppData\Local\nvim-data\` (CMD) or `$env:USERPROFILE\AppData\Local\nvim-data\` (Powershell) which should be deleted afterwards.
* You may also want to look at the [migration guide for lazy.nvim](https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim#-migration-guide)
* What if I want to "uninstall" this configuration:
* See [lazy.nvim uninstall](https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim#-uninstalling) information
* Why is the kickstart `init.lua` a single file? Wouldn't it make sense to split it into multiple files?
* The main purpose of kickstart is to serve as a teaching tool and a reference
configuration that someone can easily `git clone` as a basis for their own.
As you progress in learning Neovim and Lua, you might consider splitting `init.lua`
into smaller parts. A fork of kickstart that does this while maintaining the exact
same functionality is available here:
* [kickstart-modular.nvim](https://github.com/dam9000/kickstart-modular.nvim)
* Discussions on this topic can be found here:
* [Restructure the configuration](https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim/issues/218)
* [Reorganize init.lua into a multi-file setup](https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim/pull/473)
