I am having a few issues that I assume are related to this start up error: No C compiler found! "cc", "gcc", "clang", "cl", "zig" are not executable

By commenting out like you recommend in your youtube series, I have narrowed down the console error to be in tree sitter file

Problems I am having:

1. I get no command mode completions
2. Word search never gives results while file search works
3. LspInstallInfo does nothing lsp is unkown command error
4. Also I have a plugin folder that doesn't seem to be in your git repository

I am using cmder as my console if that has any relevance
once again the error on start-up is:

No C compiler found! "cc", "gcc",  "clang", "cl", "zig" are not executable

Here is the error I get when I try to use word search:

I had this same issue. I'm on windows tho. It went away after installing clang with choco install llvm and adding this line to treesitter.lua:

require 'nvim-treesitter.install'.compilers = { "clang" }
