 * Install coc.nvim by following the instructions at [coc.nvim]
+  - You will need nodejs installed.
+  - You may want to include some of the sample vim configurations [from here][coc-vim-conf]
+  - Note that if you use a plugin manager other than `vim-plug`, you may need to manually
+    checkout the `release` branch wherever your plugin manager cloned it. Otherwise you will
+    get errors about a missing javascript file.
 * Add rust analyzer using: [coc.nvim wiki][coc-wiki]
+  - Use `:CocConfig` in command mode to edit the config file.
