These platform/OS specific install steps are hugely inaccurate across a

number of axes. The official Neovim installation docs are excellent now.
Leverage those instead.

### Install Recipes
Below you can find OS specific install instructions for Neovim and dependencies.
Please follow the official [installation instructions on the Neovim
web site](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/blob/master/INSTALL.md).
After installing all the dependencies continue with the [Install Kickstart](#Install-Kickstart) step.
#### Windows Installation
<details><summary>Windows with Microsoft C++ Build Tools and CMake</summary>
Installation may require installing build tools and updating the run command for `telescope-fzf-native`
See `telescope-fzf-native` documentation for [more details](https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim#installation)
This requires:
- Install CMake and the Microsoft C++ Build Tools on Windows
```lua
{'nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim', build = 'cmake -S. -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release && cmake --build build --config Release && cmake --install build --prefix build' }
```
</details>
<details><summary>Windows with gcc/make using chocolatey</summary>
Alternatively, one can install gcc and make which don't require changing the config,
the easiest way is to use choco:
1. install [chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/install)
either follow the instructions on the page or use winget,
run in cmd as **admin**:
```
winget install --accept-source-agreements chocolatey.chocolatey
```
2. install all requirements using choco, exit the previous cmd and
open a new one so that choco path is set, and run in cmd as **admin**:
```
choco install -y neovim git ripgrep wget fd unzip gzip mingw make
```
