Install
tiktoken_core
(Optional):-
tiktoken_core:
sudo luarocks install --lua-version 5.1 tiktoken_core
. Alternatively, download a pre-built binary from lua-tiktoken releases -
You can check your Lua PATH in Neovim by doing
:lua print(package.cpath)
. Save the binary astiktoken_core.so
in any of the given paths.
For Arch Linux user, you can install
luajit-tiktoken-bin
orlua51-tiktoken-bin
from aur!For macOS users:
- Install
luarocks
using Homebrew:brew install luarocks
- Install
tiktoken_core
:luarocks install --lua-version 5.1 tiktoken_core
- Copy the installed
tiktoken_core.so
to your Homebrew Lua path:cp ~/.luarocks/lib/lua/5.1/tiktoken_core.so $(brew --prefix)/lib/lua/5.1/
This ensures
tiktoken_core
is properly installed and accessible in your Neovim environment. -

Install
avante.nvim
using lazy.nvim:{ "yetone/avante.nvim", event = "VeryLazy", config = function() require("avante").setup({}) end, dependencies = { "nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons", { "grapp-dev/nui-components.nvim", dependencies = { "MunifTanjim/nui.nvim" } }, "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim", "MeanderingProgrammer/render-markdown.nvim", }, }

Default setup configuration:
{ provider = "claude", -- "claude" or "openai" or "azure" openai = { endpoint = "https://api.openai.com", model = "gpt-4o", temperature = 0, max_tokens = 4096, }, azure = { endpoint = "", -- Example: "https://<your-resource-name>.openai.azure.com" deployment = "", -- Azure deployment name (e.g., "gpt-4o", "my-gpt-4o-deployment") api_version = "2024-06-01", temperature = 0, max_tokens = 4096, }, claude = { endpoint = "https://api.anthropic.com", model = "claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620", temperature = 0, max_tokens = 4096, }, highlights = { diff = { current = "DiffText", -- need have background color incoming = "DiffAdd", -- need have background color }, }, mappings = { show_sidebar = "<leader>aa", diff = { ours = "co", theirs = "ct", none = "c0", both = "cb", next = "]x", prev = "[x", }, }, }
Given its early stage, avante.nvim
currently supports the following basic functionalities:
-
Set the appropriate API key as an environment variable:
For Claude:
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-api-key
For OpenAI:
export OPENAI_API_KEY=your-api-key
For Azure OpenAI:
export AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY=your-api-key
-
Open a code file in Neovim.
-
Use the
:AvanteAsk
command to query the AI about the code. -
Review the AI's suggestions.
-
Apply the recommended changes directly to your code with a simple command or key binding.
