Paq

Paq is a Neovim package manager written in Lua.

Features

• Simple: Easy to use and configure
• Fast: Installs and updates packages concurrently using Neovim's event-loop
• Small: Around 500 LOC

Requirements

• git
• Neovim latest stable

[!NOTE] If your are using older versions of neovim, such as the one present in debian stable, you need to use the debian branch.

The debian branch is not subject of backports so if you experience any bugs you need to upgrade your neovim version.

Installation

Clone this repository.

For Unix-like systems:

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/savq/paq-nvim.git \
    "${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}"/nvim/site/pack/paqs/start/paq-nvim

For Debian Stable:

git clone --depth=1 --branch=debian https://github.com/savq/paq-nvim.git \
    "${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}"/nvim/site/pack/paqs/start/paq-nvim

For Windows (cmd.exe):

git clone https://github.com/savq/paq-nvim.git %LOCALAPPDATA%\nvim-data\site\pack\paqs\start\paq-nvim

For Windows (powershell):

git clone https://github.com/savq/paq-nvim.git "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\nvim-data\site\pack\paqs\start\paq-nvim"

To install Paq automatically or to install your plugins in --headless mode see the documentation section :h paq-bootstrapping.

Usage

In your init.lua, require the "paq" module with a list of packages, like:

require "paq" {
    "savq/paq-nvim", -- Let Paq manage itself
    "neovim/nvim-lspconfig",
    { "lervag/vimtex", opt = true }, -- Use braces when passing options
    { 'nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter', build = ':TSUpdate' },
}

Then, source your configuration (executing :source $MYVIMRC) and run :PaqInstall.

Commands

• PaqInstall: Install all packages listed in your configuration.
• PaqUpdate: Update all packages already on your system (it won't implicitly install them).
• PaqClean: Remove all packages (in Paq's directory) that aren't listed on your configuration.
• PaqSync: Execute the three commands listed above.

Options

For more details on each option, refer to the documentation.
