Installation instructions should be a bit longer #5

I never did anything with web technology, Atom shell.... whatnot. Could you expand the three lines in the README to a bit more substantial help to get everything installed?

Would be nice to use a setup similar to https://github.com/atom/atom-shell-starter to make the bootstrapping process easier.

indeed, specially if one is on Windows (not sure if it is supported yet?)

I'm curious how you connect this GUI to NeoVim running on a remote server.

This worked for me on Windows 7

  1. install elecron

    npm install electron-prebuilt -g
  2. Download latest neovim binary for windows from appveyor. Keep it somewhere on the path.
  3. Clone neovim repo and move runtime folder to "C:\Program Files\Neovim\share\nvim"
  4. Then clone this repo and install

    git clone <this repo>
    cd <folder>
    apm install . && grunt
  5. Launch with Electron .

I also had to copy ~/.vim to ~/.nvim and ~/.vimrc to ~/.nvimrc

Required a little bit of head scratching but I agree that having this on the front page will help

A .app for OS X will be awesome. :D

How do you run apm? Running on MAC, I have installed electron with brew: brew cask install electron but no apm command exists... Do I need to install Atom?
