[[ch-try-it-out]]
|

== Try it out
|
||||
|
||||
Thanks to the portability of Nix, you can try out neovim-flake without actually installing it to your machine.
|
||||
Below are the commands you may run to try out different configurations provided by this flake. As of v0.5, three
|
||||
configurations are provided:
|
||||
|
||||
* Nix
|
||||
* Tidal
|
||||
* Maximal
|
||||
|
||||
You may try out any of the provided configurations using the `nix run` command on a system where Nix is installed.
|
||||
|
||||
[source,console]
|
||||
----
|
||||
$ cachix use neovim-flake # Optional: it'll save you CPU resources and time
|
||||
$ nix run github:notashelf/neovim-flake # will run the default configuration
|
||||
$ nix run github:notashelf/neovim-flake#nix # will run the default minimal configuration
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
Do keep in mind that this is **susceptible to garbage collection** meaning it will be removed from your Nix store
|
||||
once you garbage collect. If you wish to install neovim-flake, please take a look at
|
||||
<<ch-custom-configuration,custom-configuration>> or <<ch-hm-module,home-manager>> sections for installation
|
||||
instructions.
|
||||
|
||||
=== Nix
|
||||
|
||||
By default LSP support for Nix is enabled alongside all complementary Neovim plugins. By running `nix run .`, which is the default package,
|
||||
you will build Neovim with this config.
|
||||
|
||||
=== Tidal
|
||||
|
||||
Tidal is an alternative config that adds vim-tidal on top of the plugins from the Nix configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
=== Maximal
|
||||
|
||||
Maximal is the ultimate configuration that will enable basically everything. Keep in mind, however, that this will pull a lot of dependencies.
|
||||
|
||||
You are strongly recommended to use the binary cache if you would like to try the Maximal configuration.
