Installation

There are two ways of installing Aurora :-

1. Using installation script (Arch Linux only)

2. Manual installation

You can use our installation script but it is in beta, might not work properly.

To install Aurora using installation script follow these steps

Step 1

Clone this repo into your home directory

cd ~ && git clone https://github.com/TheAhumMaitra/Aurora.git

Step 2 - Make the installation script executable and run it

chmod +x install.sh && ./install.sh

The installer also bootstraps Neovim with the LazyVim/starter config. If Neovim already has local files, Aurora backs these up first:

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

Done
