How do I use the dashboard theme with vim-plug?

[Un1q32]

I dont use packer or paq, should i just switch to those? I'm new to vim stuff

[goolord]

    Plug 'goolord/alpha-nvim'

    lua << EOF
      require'alpha'.setup(require'alpha.themes.dashboard'.config)
    EOF

init.vim.txt

it has to go at the end of the file with the proper indentation, not in the middle of the packer plug#begin()

call plug#end()

set termguicolors
let ayucolor="dark"
colorscheme ayu
set number

lua << EOF
 require'alpha'.setup(require'alpha.themes.dashboard'.config)
