Due to requirements of some plugins, recommend to use latest release of Neovim or nightly version

• git
• C, C++ compiler: For nvim-treesitter
• ripgrep: For Telescope.nvim live grep
• cscope: For cscope_maps.nvim
• bear (Optional): For C LSP. Using compile_commands.json, the syntax highlighting could be more informative.

sudo apt install git
sudo apt install build-essential # C/C++ compiler
sudo apt install ripgrep
sudo apt install cscope
sudo apt install bear

sudo pacman -S git
sudo pacman -S gcc # g++ included in this package
sudo pacman -S ripgrep
sudo pacman -S cscope
sudo pacman -S bear

sudo dnf install git
sudo dnf install gcc gcc-c++
sudo dnf install ripgrep
sudo dnf install cscope
sudo dnf install bear

• Recommend to use Scoop package manager
• bear is not supported in Windows

scoop install git
scoop install gcc
scoop install ripgrep
scoop install cscope

• Recommend to use Homebrew package manager
• Default C/C++ compiler in macOS is clang, which can be installed with Xcode command line tools
• git also can be installed with Xcode command line tools

brew install ripgrep
brew install cscope
brew install bear

• FreeBSD ships with pre-installed C/C++ compiler (clang)

sudo pkg install git
sudo pkg install ripgrep
sudo pkg install cscope
sudo pkg install bear

• In the cscope_maps.nvim configuration, I set a default keymap for :Cscope build as F5.
• Since cscope_maps.nvim do not support origianl :cs command (only :Cscope), I make a alias so that :cs becomes :Cscope
• You may build your own C projects with bear to generate compile_command.json. It would help colorscheme plugin make more accurate syntax highlighting.
