## Features
- **Reproducible**: Your configuration will behave the same anywhere. No
surprises, promise!
- **Portable**: nvf depends _solely_ on your Nix store, and nothing else. No
more global binaries! Works on all platforms, without hassle.
- **Customizable**: There are _almost no defaults_ to annoy you. nvf is fully
customizable through the Nix module system.
- **Well-documented**: Documentation is priority. You will never face
undocumented, obscure behaviour.
- **Idiomatic**: nvf does things _the right way_. The codebase is, and will,
remain maintainable.
## Get Started
### Using `nix` CLI
If you are not sold on the concepts of **nvf**, and would like to try out the
default configuration before even _thinking about_ installing it, you may run
the following in order to take **nvf** out for a spin.
If you would like to try out the configuration before even thinking about
installing it, you can run the following command
```console
```bash
nix run github:notashelf/nvf
```
This will get you a feel for the base configuration and UI design.
The flake exposes `#nix` as the default package, providing minimal
language support and various utilities.You may also use `#nix`,
`#tidal` or `#maximal` to get try out different configurations.
This will get you a feel for the base configuration and UI design. Though, none
of the configuration options are final as **nvf** is designed to be modular and
configurable.
It is as simple as changing the target output to get a different
configuration. For example, to get a configuration with `tidal` support, run:

> The flake exposes `#nix` as the default package, providing minimal language

```console
nix run github:notashelf/nvf#tidal
It is as simple as changing the target output to get a different configuration.
For example, to get a configuration with large language coverage, run:
```bash
nix run github:notashelf/nvf#maximal
```
Similar instructions will apply for `nix profile install`. However, you are
recommended to instead use the module system as described in the manual.
> [!NOTE]
> The `maximal` configuration is _massive_ and will take a while to build.
> To get a feel for the configuration, use the default `nix` or `tidal`
> configurations. Should you choose to try out the `maximal` configuration,
> using the binary cache as described in the manual is _strongly_ recommended.

instructions.
## Documentation
See the [**nvf** Manual](https://notashelf.github.io/nvf/) for
detailed installation guides, configurations, available options, release notes
and more. Tips for installing userspace plugins is also contained in the
documentation.
[nvf manual]: https://notashelf.github.io/nvf/
If you want to dive right into trying **nvf** you can get a fully
featured configuration with `nix` language support by running:
The _recommended_ way of installing **nvf** is using either the NixOS or the
Home-Manager module, though it is completely possible and no less supported to
install **nvf** as a standalone package, or a flake output.
```console
nix run github:notashelf/nvf#nix
```
See the [**nvf** manual] for detailed and up-to-date installation guides,
configurations, available options, release notes and more. Tips for installing
userspace plugins is also contained in the documentation.

**Q**: What platforms are supported?
<br/> **A**: nvf actively supports Linux and Darwin platforms using standalone
Nix, NixOS or Home-Manager. Please take a look at the
**Q**: Can you add _X_?
<br/>
**A**: Maybe! It is not one of our goals to support each and every Neovim
plugin, however, I am always open to new modules and plugin setup additions
to **nvf**. Use the [appropritate issue template](issues/new/choose) and I will
consider a module addition.

plugin configurations! Please see the documentation on how you may do
this.
