Problem description

I recently installed lunar vim under Windows, and I immediately noticed that telescope was not installing correctly, turns out you need to install ripgrep (and also sharkdp/fd), otherwise telescope won't work properly. I think this should be included into the installation instructions for Windows explicitely (in the download page on the main site at least), because it is not at all obvious at a first glance!

LunarVim version

Neovim version (>= 0.9.1)

0.9

Terminal name

Powershell 7+

Operating system/version

Windows

Steps to reproduce

Simply install with the script provided on the main page on a fresh install Windows machine

Screenshots

No response

Much of the windows guide needs revisiting here are the issues I encountered on top of the ones you have mentioned:

If you use make like the prerequisites suggest then there is also an unmentioned requirement to have gcc or clang installed to compile telescope-fzf-native.nvim.

The config file for the current stable version (1.3) is broken by default in Windows. This was seemingly fixed in June but there hasn't been a release since. -NoLogo needs removing from the line vim.opt.shell = "pwsh.exe -NoLogo"

I've also found that Lazy wont pickup new plugins until I restart lvim but that is possibly an issue I have caused.

when u installed lunarvim did you use link provided on mainpage? and have it run through its check dependancies?
my understand is ripgrep is a/The reason cargo is listed on the main install page as a pre req

Prerequisites
Make sure you have installed the latest version of Neovim v0.9.0+.
Have git, make, pip, python, npm, node and cargo installed on your system.

the lunarvim install script should self install ripgrep via cargo

are you saying that didnt happen?

These were not hard-dependencies back when we wrote the installer script.

Please create a PR to add them to this list here:

	$winget_package_matrix=@{"git" = "Git.Git"; "nvim" = "Neovim.Neovim"; "make" = "GnuWin32.Make"; "node" = "OpenJS.NodeJS"; "pip" = "Python.Python.3"}
	$scoop_package_matrix=@{"git" = "git"; "nvim" = "neovim-nightly"; "make" = "make"; "node" = "nodejs"; "pip" = "python3"}

I didn't install make and gcc. Use VS Build Tools and cmake instead.

{ 'nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim', build = 'cmake -S. -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release && cmake --build build --config Release && cmake --install build --prefix build' }
