Comment:
I've actually almost got this one working. It builds without error, but then does not install. I am not entirely certain where I went wrong and I wonder if maybe I need to include something that changes terminal fonts to nerd fonts. 

It was required to force the extraction, as for whatever reason it would not extract. 

Please see the below template:

```

do_install() {
    # Force extraction of tarball
    tar -xzf "v${version}.tar.gz" -C "${wrksrc}"

    # Navigate to the directory where the source files are extracted
    cd "${wrksrc}/NvChad-${version}"

    # Create Necessary Directories
    vmkdir /usr/share/nvim/runtime
    vmkdir /usr/share/nvchad

    # Copying necessary files
    vcopy init.lua /usr/share/nvchad
    vcopy lua /usr/share/nvchad
    vcopy .stylua.toml /usr/share/nvchad

    # Copy the same files to nvim runtime directory
    vcopy init.lua /usr/share/nvim/runtime
    vcopy lua /usr/share/nvim/runtime
    vcopy .stylua.toml /usr/share/nvim/runtime
}

post_install() {
    echo "To update NvChad, run 'NvChadUpdate' inside neovim."
}
```
