Quick Start

Get up and running with Avante.nvim in just a few steps

Add Avante.nvim to your Neovim configuration. For lazy.nvim: ```lua lazy.nvim theme={null} { "yetone/avante.nvim", build = "make", event = "VeryLazy", opts = { provider = "claude", }, dependencies = { "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim", "MunifTanjim/nui.nvim", "nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons", }, } ``` See the [installation guide](/installation) for other plugin managers. Set up your preferred AI provider. Avante supports Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, Copilot, and more: ```bash theme={null} export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-api-key ``` Or configure directly in your setup: ```lua theme={null} require('avante').setup({ provider = "claude", providers = { claude = { model = "claude-sonnet-4-20250514", }, }, }) ``` Open a code file and ask AI for help: ```vim theme={null} :AvanteAsk Refactor this function to improve performance ``` Or toggle the sidebar and start chatting: ```vim theme={null} :AvanteToggle ``` Select code in visual mode and use `:AvanteEdit` to apply AI suggestions directly.
