+# My NVIM Config
+
+This repo contains my custom NeoVim config for software development.
+
+# Requirements
+
+1. Install [Lua](https://www.lua.org/download.html) if you do not have it already.
+
+2. Install NeoVim following the kickstart guide:
+
+```
+sudo add-apt-repository ppa:neovim-ppa/unstable -y
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt install make gcc ripgrep unzip git xclip neovim
+```
+
+## References
+
+My config is based on [kickstart.nvim](https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim) but I customized it following [Henry Misc's video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYDG3AHgYEs&t=1229s).
