Note
[1] All downloadable Nerd Fonts contain icons which are used by AstroNvim. Install the Nerd Font of your choice to your system and in your terminal emulator settings, set its font face to that Nerd Font. If you are using AstroNvim on a remote system via SSH, you do not need to install the font on the remote system.
Note
[2] Note when using default theme: For MacOS, the default terminal does not have true color support. You will need to use iTerm2, Kitty, WezTerm, or another terminal emulator that has true color support.
AstroNvim is provided as a plugin that can be installed with the lazy.nvim
plugin manager and then used to import all of the plugin configurations that AstroNvim provides. To quickly get started it is recommended to start with the official AstroNvim Template which provides a great starting point for a new AstroNvim based configuration.
mv ~/.config/nvim ~/.config/nvim.bak
mv ~/.local/share/nvim ~/.local/share/nvim.bak
mv ~/.local/state/nvim ~/.local/state/nvim.bak
mv ~/.cache/nvim ~/.cache/nvim.bak
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/AstroNvim/template ~/.config/nvim
rm -rf ~/.config/nvim/.git
nvim
Rename-Item -Path $env:LOCALAPPDATA\nvim -NewName $env:LOCALAPPDATA\nvim.bak
Rename-Item -Path $env:LOCALAPPDATA\nvim-data -NewName $env:LOCALAPPDATA\nvim-data.bak
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/AstroNvim/template $env:LOCALAPPDATA\nvim

Some user's might not want to use an entire template or do any customization. Here is a minimal ~/.config/nvim/init.lua
file that simply set's up a base AstroNvim installation:
local lazypath = vim.fn.stdpath "data" .. "/lazy/lazy.nvim"
if not (vim.uv or vim.loop).fs_stat(lazypath) then
-- stylua: ignore
vim.fn.system({ "git", "clone", "--filter=blob:none", "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git", "--branch=stable", lazypath })
end
vim.opt.rtp:prepend(lazypath)
require("lazy").setup { "AstroNvim/AstroNvim", version = "^4", import = "astronvim.plugins" }
