Open Source Lua Package Managers

Portable package manager for Neovim that runs everywhere Neovim runs. Easily install and manage LSP servers, DAP servers, linters, and formatters. mason.nvim is a Neovim plugin that allows you to easily manage external editor toolings such as LSP servers, DAP servers, liters, and formatters through a single interface. It runs everywhere Neovim runs (across Linux, macOS, Windows, etc.), with only a small set of external requirements needed. Packages are installed in Neovim's data directory (:h standard-path) by default. Executables are linked to a single bin/ directory, which mason.nvim will add to Neovim's PATH during setup, allowing seamless access from Neovim builtins (shell, terminal, etc.) as well as other 3rd party plugins.

Neovim plugin management inspired by Cargo, powered by luarocks. rocks.nvim revolutionizes Neovim plugin management by streamlining the way users and developers handle plugins and dependencies. Integrating directly with luarocks, this plugin offers an automated approach that shifts the responsibility of specifying dependencies and build steps from users to plugin authors. The traditional approach to Neovim plugin management often places an unjust burden on users, by requiring them to declare dependencies and build instructions manually.

Paq is a Neovim package manager written in Lua.

Package-Info.nvim is a Neovim plugin that displays npm package versions directly in package.json, allowing developers to see outdated or missing dependencies without leaving their editor.
