Tested with ARMv7 (06/19/2022)

1. Install Rust:

   curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

2. Reboot your terminal, then check your install:

   which rustup

   which cargo

3. Install Node:

   • Check your ARM version using the following command:

     cat /proc/cpuinfo

   • On the Raspberry Pi 4 it returns ARMv7

     • Download the appropriate binary here, or use use wget to download (for ARMv7):

       wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v16.15.1/node-v16.15.1-linux-armv7l.tar.xz

     • Make a directory for node to live in and unzip the package there

       sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/nodejs

       sudo tar -xJvf node-v16.15.1-linux-armv7l.tar.xz -C /usr/local/lib/nodejs

4. Set Node ENV variables in ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc

   export PATH=/usr/local/lib/nodejs/node-v16.15.1-linux-armv7l/bin:$PATH

   • Source your dotfile and then test:

     node -v

5. Install a C compiler

   sudo apt-get install gcc

6. Install tree-sitter-cli

   cargo install tree-sitter-cli

7. Install Neovim:

   • Install Pre-requisites:

     sudo apt-get install ninja-build gettext libtool libtool-bin autoconf automake cmake g++ pkg-config unzip curl doxygen

   • Clone neovim from repo

     git clone https://github.com/neovim/neovim ~/Downloads/neovim

   • There was an issue described here which supposedly fixes some issues with LuaJIT by adding -DCOMPILE_LUA=OFF

   • Change into the cloned neovim directory and run the make command

     cd ~/Downloads/neovim && make CMAKE_EXTRA_FLAGS="-DCOMPILE_LUA=OFF -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/neovim" CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo

   • Make install binary

     make install

   • Add the binary location to PATH in ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc

     export PATH="$HOME/neovim/bin:$PATH"

   • To uninstall, if you want:

     sudo rm /usr/local/bin/nvim

     sudo rm -r /usr/local/share/nvim/

8. Finally, install LunarVim ("Install In One Command!" ---my ass):

   bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lunarvim/lunarvim/master/utils/installer/install.sh)
