Installation

#Linux

First, you must install the dependencies. Unfortunately, V has more dependencies than I would like. First, make sure you have the following installed.

• pip
• python-dev
• neovim

Then, install the following python libraries from pip:

• docopts
• neovim

Installing the neovim library will fail if you have not installed python-dev.

And from there, you are good to go! It is recommended that you also add the following to your .bashrc:

alias v="python /path/to/V_folder/main.py"
export NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS=/tmp/nvim

The first makes running V more convenient, and the second allows you to run V with an external vim window for debugging purposes.

#Windows, OS X

Windows and OS X are not yet officially supported, although the dependencies are the same. This will be updated. Since it can be a pain to get neovim running on windows, it is recommended that you use build 658 and nvim-qt.exe.
