## About Installation
Installing is easy and will take you less than a minute. You can install the extension manually or you can use your favorite plugin manager.
## Prerequisites
Augment for Vim and Neovim requires a compatible version of Vim or Neovim, and Node.js:
| Dependency | Minimum version |
| :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :-------------- |
| [Vim](https://github.com/vim/vim?tab=readme-ov-file#installation) | 9.1.0 |
| [Neovim](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/tree/master?tab=readme-ov-file#install-from-package) | 0.10.0 |
| [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/all) | 22.0.0 |
## 1. Install the extension
### Manual Installation
```sh theme={null}
git clone https://github.com/augmentcode/augment.vim.git ~/.config/nvim/pack/augment/start/augment.vim
```
### Using Lazy.nvim
Add the following to your `init.lua` file, then run `:Lazy sync` in Neovim. See more details about using [Lazy.nvim on GitHub](https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim).
```lua theme={null}
require('lazy').setup({
-- Your other plugins here
'augmentcode/augment.vim',
})
```
### Manual Installation
```sh theme={null}
git clone https://github.com/augmentcode/augment.vim.git ~/.vim/pack/augment/start/augment.vim
```
### Using Vim Plug
Add the following to your `.vimrc` file, then run `:PlugInstall` in Vim. See more details about using [Vim Plug on GitHub](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug).
```vim theme={null}
call plug#begin()
" Your other plugins here
Plug 'augmentcode/augment.vim'
call plug#end()
```
## 2. Configure your workspace context
Add your project root to your workspace context by setting `g:augment_workspace_folders` in your `.vimrc` or `init.lua` file before the plugin is loaded. For example:
```vim theme={null}
" Add to your .vimrc
let g:augment_workspace_folders = ['/path/to/project']
" Add to your init.lua
vim.g.augment_workspace_folders = {'/path/to/project'}
```
Augment's Context Engine provides the best suggestions when it has access to your project's codebase and any related repositories. See more details in
[Configure additional workspace context](/vim/setup-augment/workspace-context-vim).
## 3. Sign-in to Augment
