How to setup denite ?

[Farkal]

I am trying to define denite settings but i get: Unknow function denite#custom#var This issue https://github.com/Shougo/denite.nvim/issues/441 say that it's because the plugin is not installed but i can use denite if i don't define this vars so it's installed. Have you any idea about this ? (i am also new to vim/neovim perhaps i missed something, it's hard to find good doc about denite 😢 )

Try adding packadd! denite.nvim before calling the denite functions.
