# Install lazyman with the following two commands:
git clone https://github.com/doctorfree/nvim-lazyman $HOME/.config/nvim-Lazyman
$HOME/.config/nvim-Lazyman/lazyman.sh
NEWS! Lazyman is now available as a Kasm Workspace
by adding https://doctorfree.github.io/kasm-registry/ as a
Kasm 3rd party registry
and installing the Neovim or Deluxe workspace in your Kasm instance.
The Lazyman Neovim configuration management menu:
The nvims Neovim configuration fuzzy selector:
The Lazyman project can be used to install, initialize, and manage multiple Neovim configurations. Over 100 popular Neovim configurations are supported.
See what's new
Follow the Installation instructions to bootstrap Lazyman.
Once Lazyman is installed, execute the lazyman command to manage
Neovim configurations. The lazyman command is located in ~/.local/bin/lazyman.
The two primary features of the Lazyman project are the lazyman command
and the nvims shell function. The lazyman command provides a menu
interface and command line options to install, initialize, and manage
multiple Neovim configurations. The nvims shell function dynamically
generates a fuzzy searchable menu of Neovim configurations from which
to select. The selected configurations can be opened in Neovim, removed,
or a configuration information document can be viewed.
More info on the nvims and neovides shell functions can be found below
in the nvims fuzzy selector section, in the
nvims man page with man nvims, with the command nvims -U, or in Neovim
using the nvim-Lazyman configuration with :h Nvims.
The lazyman command separates Neovim configurations into 5 categories:
Base, Language, Personal, Starter, and Custom. The Base category
consists of well tested Neovim configurations and distributions, all of which
provide significant value. The Language category includes Neovim configurations
tailored for a specific programming or document format language. The Personal
category includes personal Neovim configurations that provide significant value
or demonstrate some cool features. Configurations in the Personal category are
not necessarily intended for public use, these repositories are maintained for
the personal use of the authors but are included here for their value.
The Starter category includes Neovim configurations tailored to serve as
a starting point for developing your own Neovim configuration. These include
the popular Neovim Kickstart configuration, a Modern Neovim config, the
PDE personal development environment config, and the Neovim configurations
provided by the nvim-starter project.
The Custom category includes any additional Neovim configurations installed
and initialized with lazyman by the end-user using the -C url and
-N nvimdir options.
In addition, Lazyman installs and initializes the Lazyman Neovim configuration, a richly configured Neovim environment using Lua, Lazy, and Mason to support highlighting, completion, diagnostics, and more for many programming languages.
The installation and initialization of Neovim configurations are placed in
separate directories and managed using the NVIM_APPNAME environment variable.
Note that a full installation and initialization of all supported Neovim configurations, plugins, language servers, formatters, linters, and tools will consume over 20GB of disk space.
The lazyman command is installed as ~/.local/bin/lazyman and can be used
to install, initialize, remove, and manage multiple Neovim configurations.

Requirements
The lazyman Neovim configuration manager requires Neovim 0.9. The lazyman
installation and initialization process checks for Neovim 0.9 and, if not
found, installs it and required dependencies and tools.
Lazyman requires Linux or macOS, git, and the Bash shell version 4 or later.
- Unix/Linux/macOS
- Neovim 0.9 (automatically installed if not found)
- Bash version 4 or later (automatically installed if not found)
- Git version 2 or later
Note: CentOS 7 users should upgrade git and macOS users upgrade bash.
To enable installation of language servers and treesitter syntax highlighting
gcc, node, and npm are required. For example, to install these
requirements on Ubuntu Linux:
sudo apt install build-essential
sudo apt install nodejs
sudo apt install npm
Github API rate limiting
If you are in a corporate network or large shared network you may encounter rate limiting issues when attempting to access the Github API. To increase your rate limit, create and export a Github personal access token:
export GITHUB_TOKEN=<your-github-token>
macOS users
Even the latest versions of macOS ship with Bash 3.2 which dates from 2007. The Lazyman initialization process will update your system with a modern Bash using Homebrew:
brew install bash
The initialization process also makes sure it is found first in your PATH.
For example, export PATH="/usr/local/bin:${PATH}" or export PATH="/opt/homebrew/bin:${PATH}".
Installation
The Lazyman installation process consists of two steps.
Step 1, clone the Lazyman repository:
git clone https://github.com/doctorfree/nvim-lazyman $HOME/.config/nvim-Lazyman
Step 2, initialize the Lazyman Neovim configuration:
$HOME/.config/nvim-Lazyman/lazyman.sh
These 2 steps perform the following:
- Download the Lazyman Neovim configuration
- Initialize the Lazyman Neovim configuration which:
- Installs language servers and tools for coding diagnostics
- Installs the latest version of Neovim if not already installed
- Installs and initializes configured Neovim plugins
After the download and initialization are complete, execute the lazyman
command found in ~/.local/bin/lazyman.
By default, Lazyman uses the native package manager to install Neovim dependencies and tools. Supported native package managers include:
aptorapt-geton Debian based platforms (e.g. Ubuntu)dnforyumon RPM based platforms (Fedora, CentOS, Red Hat)pacmanon Arch Linux and Arch-Like platformsapkon Alpine Linuxxbps-installon Void Linuxzypperon SUSE Linux
Further details on Lazyman installation including command line options
to direct lazyman to install Neovim, dependencies and tools using
Homebrew or to skip the Neovim installation altogether
can be found on the
Install tab of the Lazyman website

Base configurations
The Lazyman "Base" Neovim configurations are well tested, full featured Neovim
configurations that provide an excellent base starting point for exploring
the features of lazyman and the wealth of Neovim configuration possibilities.
All "Base" Neovim configurations can be installed and initialized with lazyman -B.
View descriptions of the Lazyman "Base" Neovim configurations
Language configurations
In addition to the base Neovim configurations listed above, lazyman can
install and initialize several "Language" Neovim configurations. These can
be used as programming or document format specific Neovim configurations.
The Language category configurations either employ a specific language
or target specific language(s).
[Note:] The Language category does not include all supported Lazyman Neovim
configurations with programming language support. In fact, most Neovim
configurations support several programming languages. The Language category
simply serves as a convenience to get started exploring language support.
All of the "Language" configurations can be installed and initialized with
the command lazyman -L all. Individual "Language" configurations can be
installed with the -L lang option.
View descriptions of the Lazyman "Language" Neovim configurations
Personal configurations
In addition to the base and language Neovim configurations listed above,
lazyman can install and initialize several "Personal" Neovim configurations.
These are used as personal Neovim configurations, so there are no guarantees
made about stability or compatibility. Each supported personal configuration
uses some interesting approach and provides significant value making them worthy
of study, exploration, and possible use in tailoring your own configuration.
All of the 'Personal' configurations can be installed and initialized with
the command lazyman -W. Individual 'Personal' configurations can be
installed with the -w conf option.
View descriptions of the Lazyman "Personal" Neovim configurations
Starter configurations
The "Starter" Neovim configurations include Basic, Kickstart, NvPak,
Modern, PDE, and those provided by VonHeikemen,
the author of LSP Zero.
All of the "Starter" configurations can be installed and initialized with
the command lazyman -X. Individual "Starter" configurations can be
installed with the -x conf option.
View descriptions of the Lazyman "Starter" Neovim configurations
Custom configurations
Lazyman includes support for Custom Neovim configurations. To install and initialize
a Neovim configuration not supported out-of-the-box by Lazyman, use the -C url and
-N nvimdir options to lazyman.
View details and examples of installing and initializing Lazyman "Custom" Neovim configurations.

What's New
A convenience script has been introduced to invoke Neovim with the Lazyman
Neovim configuration regardless of NVIM_APPNAME environment setting. The
lman command can be used to edit a file using the Lazyman Neovim config:
lman /path/to/file.ext
Thanks to Github user wxguy for this convenience script.

Supported plugin managers
Lazyman currently supports the following Neovim plugin managers:
The SpaceVim bundled plugin manager, dein, is supported only for the SpaceVim install and initialization but Neovim configurations preconfigured to use the dein plugin manager may install and initialize successfully.
Neovim configurations using other plugin managers will likely fail to cleanly
install and initialize using lazyman. Support for additional plugin managers
is not currently planned but if you have a need for this feature open an issue.
To install and initialize a Neovim configuration that uses the Packer plugin
manager invoke lazyman with the -P flag. See the Packer section below.
To install and initialize a Neovim configuration that uses the Plug plugin
manager invoke lazyman with the -p flag. See the Plug section below.
Updates
To update a previously installed Lazyman Neovim configuration execute
lazyman -U -N <nvimdir> to update the Neovim configuration in
~/.config/<nvimdir>, lazyman -U -A to update all configurations,
or lazyman -U to update the nvim-Lazyman configuration. Updates
retrieve any newly modified files from the respective Github repository
while preserving local modifications. Note, if a file has been modified
both locally and in the repository then it will not be updated and retain
only local modifications.
Lazyman manual
The lazyman bootstrap process installs a lazyman manual page in
~/.local/share/man/man1/lazyman.1. This man page includes a synopsis
of the lazyman command line options, a brief description of its use,
a description of each command line option, and several example invocations.
The lazyman manual page can be viewed with man lazyman.
Lazyman Neovim help can be viewed inside Neovim with :h Lazyman.
Lazyman configuration
The nvim-Lazyman Neovim configuration includes a top-level configuration file,
~/.config/nvim-Lazyman/lua/configuration.lua. This file can be use to enable,
disable, and configure nvim-Lazyman components. For example, here is where you
would configure whether neo-tree or nvim-tree is enabled as a file explorer.
Or, disable the tabline, disable the statusline, set the colorscheme, theme, and
theme style. The configuration.lua file is intended to serve as a quick and
easy way to re-configure the nvim-Lazyman Neovim configuration but you can still
dig down into the options.lua, keymaps.lua, autocmds.lua and more.
Configuration sections
The lua/configuration.lua configuration file contains the following sections
with settings briefly described here:
Namespace selection
The Lazyman Neovim configuration contains three separate and distinct
configurations. The setting conf.namespace in lua/configuration.lua
controls which configuration is active. The supported values for
conf.namespace are ecovim free and onno. The free namespace is
the same configuration used in previous releases of Lazyman. The onno
namespace is based on the ONNO
configuration with modifications and enhancements to integrate this config
with lazyman. The ecovim namespace is based on the
Ecovim configuration with modifications
and enhancements to integrate with lazyman. The default Lazyman configuration
namespace is ecovim.
To switch Lazyman namespaces, run the command:
lazyman -O <namespace>
Where <namespace> is one of ecovim, free, or onno.
This setting is configurable via the lazyman menu system, as are most
of the Lazyman configuration settings (lazyman -F).
Theme configuration
The nvim-Lazyman Neovim configuration includes pre-configured support for several
themes including support for statusline and tabline theme coordination. The active
theme and colorscheme is selected in configuration.lua by setting conf.theme.
For themes that support different styles, the theme style is selected by setting
conf.theme_style. Theme transparency can be enabled with conf.enable_transparent.
For example, to use the kanagawa theme with dragon style and transparency
disabled, set:
conf.theme = "kanagawa"
conf.theme_style = "dragon"
conf.enable_transparent = false
Supported themes
A configuration file for each theme is in lua/themes/ and lualine theme
configuration for each theme and its styles in lua/themes/lualine.
Use <F8> to step through themes.
Available styles are:
- kanagawa
- wave
- dragon
- lotus
- tokyonight
- night
- storm
- day
- moon
- onedarkpro

Lazyman Neovim Terminal
The Lazyman Neovim configuration includes Neovim Terminal management via
terminal.nvim. This Neovim terminal
is preconfigured for execution of the lazyman command. Shortcut key
bindings to execute lazyman in a Neovim terminal have been provided:
<leader>lm to bring up the main Lazyman menu, and <leader>lc to bring up
the Lazyman configuration menu. While in Neovim with the default
nvim-Lazyman configuration, pressing ,lm will execute the lazyman
command in a Neovim floating terminal window and pressing ,lc will
execute lazyman -F in a terminal window. Alternately, executing the
Neovim command :Lazyman will also bring up the lazyman command
in a Neovim terminal.
The Lazyman Neovim configuration includes an autocmd to automatically
enter insert mode when opening the Neovim Terminal. This allows
immediate input to the lazyman prompt. While in the Neovim Terminal
the normal Neovim mode, motion, and command key bindings are in effect.
For example, to leave insert mode press <ESC>, to re-enter insert
mode press i or a.
If Asciiville is installed,
pressing ,A or executing the :Asciiville Neovim command will execute
the asciiville command in a Neovim floating terminal window.
If the htop command is available, :Htop will execute the htop system
monitor in a floating Neovim terminal window.
This preconfigured Neovim terminal capability is only available in the
Lazyman Neovim configuration and not in the other configs.
Motivation
I'm a lazy man. I wanted to try out a bunch of nifty looking Neovim
configurations but I didn't want to spend a lot of time setting each
of them up and managing them. Instead, I spent a lot of time writing
an install/initialize/manage tool I could use: lazyman.
Although the primary motivation for creating this project was to provide
an easy way to try out various Neovim configurations, lazyman can be used
to setup and manage Neovim configurations tailored for specific purposes.
A Neovim configuration for work, one for school, one for Python development,
another for git repository maintenance and markdown editing, one with language
servers and debugging tools, one for your mom.
It's also pretty interesting and educational to see how some of these Neovim Wizards setup their configurations.
Inspiration
Lazyman was inspired by several other Neovim distributions and configurations including:
Some of these distributions, like the work of Michael Peter, are released under an MIT license and I was able to copy directly configuration or initialization code. Others, like the work of Marc Jakobi, are released under a more restrictive license and I was only able to use these as reference but still a valuable aid. I copied my own previous work liberally.
Thanks everybody!
Notes
View the Lazyman Notes in the Lazyman Notes article on the Lazyman website.
Windows Subsystem for Linux
If you have installed Lazyman in the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)
then set the NVIM_APPNAME environment variable on the Windows side with:
setx NVIM_APPNAME "nvim-<ConfigName>"
# For example, to use the AstroNvimV4 configuration
setx NVIM_APPNAME "nvim-AstroNvimV4"
Where nvim-<ConfigName> is the Neovim configuration directory you want to use in WSL.
Then set WSLENV to include NVIM_APPNAME with something like:
setx WSLENV NVIM_APPNAME/u
Removal
The lazyman.sh script can be used to remove previously installed
Neovim configurations with the -r command line option. For example, to remove
a previously installed LazyVim configuration, its initialized plugins, state,
and cache, execute the following command:
$HOME/.config/nvim-Lazyman/lazyman.sh -l -r
To remove the nvim-Lazyman configuration and associated plugins, state, and cache:
$HOME/.config/nvim-Lazyman/lazyman.sh -r
All lazyman.sh operations can be performed as a dry run with -n. For
example, to see which LazyVim folders would be removed without removing any:
$HOME/.config/nvim-Lazyman/lazyman.sh -n -l -r

Appendix
Get configuration script
Neovim 0.9 introduced a new feature which allows execution of Lua scripts
in Neovim from the shell command line. The lazyman configuration menu
interface uses this new feature to get the current Lazyman Neovim
configuration with shell commands like:
GET_CONF="${HOME}/.config/nvim-Lazyman/scripts/get_conf.lua"
confval=$(NVIM_APPNAME="nvim-Lazyman" nvim -l ${GET_CONF} ${confname} 2>&1)
The get_conf.lua script can also be used to retrieve option or variable
settings in any Neovim configuration. For example, to retrieve the value of
the 'mouse' option in the nvim-Webdev Neovim configuration:
GET_CONF="${HOME}/.config/nvim-Lazyman/scripts/get_conf.lua"
NVIM_APPNAME="nvim-Webdev" nvim -l ${GET_CONF} mouse
Lazyman get_conf.lua script
-- Invoke with 'nvim -l get_conf.lua conf_name'
-- Where 'conf_name' is:
-- - one of the entries in lua/configuration.lua
-- - the keyword 'config_home' to get configuration location info
-- - an option/variable name to retrieve its value
--
-- For example, to retrieve the Lazyman configuration 'namespace' setting:
--
-- #!/bin/bash
-- NVIM_APPNAME="nvim-Lazyman" \
-- nvim -l ~/.config/nvim-Lazyman/scripts/get_conf.lua namespace
--
-- or, to retrieve the value of the 'mouse' option in the Webdev config:
--
-- #!/bin/bash
-- NVIM_APPNAME="nvim-Webdev" \
-- nvim -l ~/.config/nvim-Lazyman/scripts/get_conf.lua mouse
local config = vim.inspect(_G.arg[1])
local arg = string.gsub(config, '"', "")
local app_name = os.getenv("NVIM_APPNAME") or ""
local function get_var(var_name, default_value)
local s, v = pcall(function()
return vim.api.nvim_get_option(var_name)
end)
if s then
return v
else
s, v = pcall(function()
return vim.api.nvim_get_var(var_name)
end)
if s then
return v
else
return default_value
end
end
end
local function print_var(entry)
if type(entry) == "string" then
io.write(entry .. "\n")
elseif type(entry) == "table" then
table.sort(entry)
for _, val in ipairs(entry) do
io.write(val .. "\n")
end
else
io.write(tostring(entry) .. "\n")
end
end
if arg == "config_home" then
local config_home = vim.fn.stdpath("config")
io.write("Neovim configuration location = " .. vim.fn.expand(config_home) .. "\n")
io.write("NVIM_APPNAME = " .. app_name .. "\n")
else
local var_val = ""
if app_name == "nvim-Lazyman" then
local settings = require("configuration")
local entry = settings[arg]
if entry ~= nil then
print_var(entry)
else
var_val = get_var(arg, "")
print_var(var_val)
end
else
var_val = get_var(arg, "")
print_var(var_val)
end
end
Pretty simple, huh? Thanks Neovim!
Lazyman source code
The convenience script to install and initialize nvim-Lazyman is provided at
lazyman.sh. The automated install and initialization is performed
by lazyman and install_neovim.sh.
View the lazyman.sh script on the Lazyman website
Install neovim and tools
The lazyman command checks for a current version of Neovim and, if not found
or if the existing version is less than 0.9, invokes the install_neovim.sh
script to install Neovim, dependencies, language servers, and tools.
Not all language servers and tools are installed. If additional language
support is desired, it can usually be provided by Mason or Homebrew.
For example, to provide support for Composer run brew install composer.
The automated Neovim installation is performed by
install_neovim.sh. View the install_neovim.sh
script on the
Lazyman website.
