 ```
 
+#### Installation using [Lazy](https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim)
+
+Add repository within `require('lazy').setup` call in your vimrc (or for plugins file ie. /lua/plugins/, do the same within a `return{}` statement).
+
+If you are unfamiliar with lua, note that the brackets `{`, `}` need a closing comma (`},`) if you are adding this to an existing function like the .setup call.
+
+```   { 'vimwiki/vimwiki' } ```
+
+**Example with options (Change syntax to markdown)**:
+
+``` lua
+{
+  'vimwiki/vimwiki',
+  init = function()
+    vim.g.vimwiki_path = '~/vimwiki/'
+    vim.g.vimwiki_syntax = 'markdown'
+    vim.g.vimwiki_ext = 'md'
+  end,
+}
+```
