I am trying to install packer.nvim to my NvChad configuration.

I installed packer using git clone https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\nvim-data\site\pack\packer\start\packer.nvim" and made this packer.nvim file:

vim.o.runtimepath = vim.fn.stdpath('data') .. '/site/pack/*/start/*,' .. vim.o.runtimepath

return require('packer').startup(function(use)
  -- Packer can manage itself
  use 'wbthomason/packer.nvim'

end)

and I installed NvChad according to the installation guide.

I already installed packer this way before, but when I tried to run :PackerSync i got this error:

                                                                                                                                   E5108: Error executing lua: Vim(lua):E5108: Error executing lua ...m-data\site\pack\packer\start\packer.nvim/lua/packer.lua:110: module 'packer.luarocks' not found:

I tried solving this by installing luarocks, reinstalling packer, and anything i could think that would solve this issue, but nothing so far worked. can anyone tell me why and how can i install this packer.luarocks package?

  • NvChad comes with the LazyVim package manager. I would either build my own configuration or keep the selection of my distribution (e.g. NvChad).

    i can try, but i like packer and don't like lazy. I thought it would be better to just keep lazy for NvChad's default configuration and use Packer for my configuration
