Installation

Railscasts supports Neovim 0.9.5 and later.

Native packages

Clone into a Neovim pack/*/start directory:

git clone https://github.com/lukelex/railscasts.nvim.git \
  ~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/plugins/start/railscasts.nvim

On Windows PowerShell:

git clone https://github.com/lukelex/railscasts.nvim.git `
  "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\nvim-data\site\pack\plugins\start\railscasts.nvim"

lazy.nvim

{
  "lukelex/railscasts.nvim",
  priority = 1000,
  config = function()
    vim.cmd.colorscheme "railscasts"
  end,
},

vim-plug

Plug "lukelex/railscasts.nvim"

Activate the theme

vim.cmd.colorscheme "railscasts"

Or in Vimscript:

colorscheme railscasts

Configure options before activating the colorscheme. See Configuration.

Verify installation

Run :checkhealth railscasts to check the supported Neovim version, termguicolors, active options, and ANSI terminal palette.

After loading the default theme, :highlight Normal should report a background of #2B2B2B. The darker_background option uses #1F1F1F, while transparent leaves the background unset.

For status lines, UI plugins, and external terminal profiles, see Integrations. For readability and contrast, see Accessibility.
