To install Paq automatically or to install your plugins in --headless mode see the documentation section :h paq-bootstrapping.

In your init.lua, require the "paq" module with a list of packages, like:

require "paq" {
    "savq/paq-nvim", -- Let Paq manage itself
    "neovim/nvim-lspconfig",
    { "lervag/vimtex", opt = true }, -- Use braces when passing options
    { 'nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter', build = ':TSUpdate' },
}

Then, source your configuration (executing :source $MYVIMRC) and run :PaqInstall.

• PaqInstall: Install all packages listed in your configuration.
• PaqUpdate: Update all packages already on your system (it won't implicitly install them).
• PaqClean: Remove all packages (in Paq's directory) that aren't listed on your configuration.
• PaqSync: Execute the three commands listed above.

For more details on each option, refer to the documentation.
