Manual Installation

Instead of copying to the ~/.vim directory, please use the ~/.config/nvim directory, or your custom Neovim root directory.

mkdir -p ~/.config/nvim/syntax && cp syntax/carbon.vim ~/.config/nvim/syntax/
mkdir -p ~/.config/nvim/ftdetect && cp ftdetect/carbon.vim ~/.config/nvim/ftdetect/
