How to get around nil value error in keymap?

[parthokr]

Neovim: 0.6.1
Environment: Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS

Attempting to open up neovim results in
Error detected while processing /home/<username>/.config/nvim/init.vim: line 56: E5108: Error executing lua ...cal/share/nvim/plugged/Comment.nvim/lua/Comment/init.lua:95: at tempt to index field 'keymap' (a nil value) stack traceback: ...cal/share/nvim/plugged/Comment.nvim/lua/Comment/init.lua:95: in function 'setup' [string ":lua"]:1: in main chunk Error detected while processing /home/<username>/.local/share/nvim/plugged/Comment.nvim/plugin/Co mment.lua: E5113: Error while calling lua chunk: ...local/share/nvim/plugged/Comment.nvim/plugin/Comment .lua:1: attempt to index field 'keymap' (a nil value) stack traceback: ...local/share/nvim/plugged/Comment.nvim/plugin/Comment.lua:1: in main chunk

Good to mention line 56 from init.vim lua require('Comment').setup()

I ran into the same problem.

It was happening with the version of neovim installed with apt (version 6 I think).

Installing the latest version with instructions on neovim.com fixes it.
