Installation

Installation

Here you can find two general ways of getting gruvbox-community into your system but you are free to get it from source. It's necessary to follow the configuration step after successful installation to get gruvbox-community running.

Vim plugin managers

First of all, let's start with the basics. Pick your favorite plugin manager: Pathogen, Vundle, NeoBundle or vim-plug, just to name a few. Pathogen is the oldest, simplest, and most featureless. Vundle is very popular and I've used it for a long time before. If you're using some of Shougo's plugins, you should probably pick NeoBundle. Last but not least is vim-plug, which I've recently switched to.

• Pathogen
  • git clone https://github.com/gruvbox-community/gruvbox.git ~/.vim/bundle/gruvbox
• Vundle
  • Add Plugin 'gruvbox-community/gruvbox' to your .vimrc and run :PluginInstall
• NeoBundle
  • Add NeoBundle 'gruvbox-community/gruvbox' to your .vimrc and run :NeoBundleInstall
• vim-plug
  • Add Plug 'gruvbox-community/gruvbox' to your .vimrc and run :PlugInstall
• Vim-8
  • git clone https://github.com/gruvbox-community/gruvbox.git ~/.vim/pack/default/start/gruvbox

System package managers

When gruvbox-community is packaged for your system of choice you can install it with your system's package manager.

• Arch / Manjaro Linux - vim-gruvbox-community and vim-airline-gruvbox-git
• NixOS - gruvbox-community

Configuration

Then add the line colorscheme gruvbox to your .vimrc file, and restart vim.

If you're using a GUI version of vim that should be enough. Otherwise, you may need to follow the terminal specific issues.
