Setting 'ranger_replace_netrw' in init.lua or plugin.lua file doesn't work

[cpadilla]

I set vim.g.ranger_replace_netrw = 1 in my init.lua and also in the plugins file as follows but it was not replacing netrw for me.

 	{
		"francoiscabrol/ranger.vim",
		dependencies = {
			"rbgrouleff/bclose.vim",
		},
		config = function()
			vim.g.ranger_replace_netrw = 1
		end
	},
