I had the same issue, probably because I am using Packer instead of the methods listed in the README.

Here my working config for packer:

use {
  'yetone/avante.nvim',
  requires = {
    'nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter',
    'stevearc/dressing.nvim',
    'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim',
    'MunifTanjim/nui.nvim',
    'nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons',
    'zbirenbaum/copilot.lua',
    {
      'HakonHarnes/img-clip.nvim',
      config = function()
        require('img-clip').setup({
          -- your config
        })
      end
    },
    {
      'MeanderingProgrammer/render-markdown.nvim',
      config = function()
        require('render-markdown').setup({
          file_types = { "markdown", "Avante" }
        })
      end
    }
  },
  config = function()
    require('copilot').setup({
      -- your config
    })
    require('avante_lib').load()
    require('avante').setup({
      -- your config
    })
  end
}

@yetone could we include Packer in your README?

Hope this helps

yep， I'm facing the save problem using the vim-plug in nvim

Plug('yetone/avante.nvim', {['branch'] = 'main', ['do'] = 'make'})



-- some usage 

require('avante_lib').load()

and the windows was traceback because of the nil value, Any possible reason?
@yetone
thx for your amazing work

[Lr-2002]

more info, might help, If I print the Config in api.lua, it shows nil
while
if I print the M.defaults in Config.lua, it show the info and I could access the value of windows with M.defaults.windows

We have fixed this problem with the help of @yetone
The reason are as listed:

1. the Vim-Plug did not really do the make, which cause the repo_map error (which would appear), so you need to change to ~/.local/share/nvim/plugged/avante.nvim, to run the make command
2. you need to load and then setup, this should be work like this :

vim.call('plug#begin')
Plug('yetone/avante.nvim', {['branch']='main', ['do']= 'make' })
vim.call('plug#end')
-- some other config 

require('avante_lib').load()
require('avante').setup()

and then it will work out.

Thx @yetone for his help again !

If your plugin manager is not lazy.nvim, then you must ensure the following two lines are executed:

require('avante_lib').load()
require('avante').setup()

[nikisix]

But my plugin manager is lazy.nvim ..

[yetone]

But my plugin manager is lazy.nvim ..

Then you can manually execute these two lines of code:

require('avante_lib').load()
require('avante').setup()
