• Windows Powershell

sh -c 'curl -fLo "${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}"/nvim/site/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \
       https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim'

iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim |`
    ni "$env:LOCALAPPDATA/nvim-data/site/autoload/plug.vim" -Force

Create a neovim init file with essential configuration

Create a directory for the neovim init file

mkdir ~/.config/nvim

Create a new init.vim file

nvim ~/.config/nvim/init.vim

Add plugins for conjure and a few supporting plugins

call plug#begin(stdpath('data') . '/plugged')

" Conjure
Plug 'Olical/conjure', {'tag': 'v4.3.1'}

" Conjure support - jack-in with nrepl dependencies
Plug 'tpope/vim-dispatch'
Plug 'clojure-vim/vim-jack-in'
" Only in Neovim:
Plug 'radenling/vim-dispatch-neovim'

call plug#end()

The plugins will be saved to the ~/.local/share/nvim/plugged/ directory.

A long list of suggested plugins can be found in the Conjure authors neovim configuration

Plugins download

Run neovim and run :PlugInstall to install all the packages defined in the ~/.config/nvim/init.vim file.

Use :PlugUpdate to update packages managed by vim-plug.

Use :PlugUpgrade to update the vim-plug package itself.

Code analysis - ALE and clj-kondo

Install the clj-kondo lint and static analysis tool to give instant feedback on Clojure syntax and idiomatic code use.

Add the dense-analysis/ale plugin to provide Linting with clj-kondo

Plug 'dense-analysis/ale'

Add the following configuration to specify the binary for Clojure linting with ALE.

" Lint configuration - clj-kondo
" clj-kondo should be installed on operating system path
let g:ale_linters = {
      \ 'clojure': ['clj-kondo']
      \}

Neovim Themes and Powerline themes

Gruvbox

Matches the theme used for Spacemacs https://github.com/morhetz/gruvbox

Add following to vim-plug section

" Plug 'morhetz/gruvbox'

After vim-plug section, configure the specific Gruvbox theme settings, in this case to use the light theme and use powerline fonts (not sure that makes a difference)

let g:airline_solarized_bg='light'
let g:airline_powerline_fonts = 1

Solarized8

https://github.com/lifepillar/vim-solarized8

Plug 'lifepillar/vim-solarized8'

set background=light
colorscheme solarized8
