Install nvim latest version

Install latest release AppImage

The Releases page provides an AppImage that runs on most Linux systems. No installation is needed, just download nvim.appimage and run it. (It might not work if your Linux distribution is more than 4 years old.)

curl -LO https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/latest/download/nvim.appimage
chmod u+x nvim.appimage
./nvim.appimage

If the ./nvim.appimage command fails, try:

./nvim.appimage --appimage-extract
./squashfs-root/AppRun --version

# Optional: exposing nvim globally.
sudo mv squashfs-root /
sudo ln -s /squashfs-root/AppRun /usr/bin/nvim
nvim

Install from source

If a package is not provided for your platform, you can build Neovim from source. See Building-Neovim for details. If you have the prerequisites then building is easy:

git clone https://github.com/neovim/neovim
cd neovim
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
sudo make install

For Unix-like systems this installs Neovim to /usr/local, while for Windows to C:\Program Files. Note, however, that this can complicate uninstallation. The following example avoids this by isolating an installation under $HOME/neovim:

rm -r build/  # clear the CMake cache
make CMAKE_EXTRA_FLAGS="-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/neovim"
make install
export PATH="$HOME/neovim/bin:$PATH"

Uninstall

There is a CMake target to uninstall after make install:

sudo cmake --build build/ --target uninstall

Alternatively, just delete the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX artifacts:

sudo rm /usr/local/bin/nvim
sudo rm -r /usr/local/share/nvim/

Install my configuration files

Make sure to remove or move your current nvim directory located inside ~/,config

IMPORTANT Requires [Neovim v0.8.0]](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases). Upgrade if you're on an earlier version.

git clone https://github.com/Atlas34/nvim.git ~/.config/nvim

Run nvim and wait for the plugins to be installed

NOTE (You will notice treesitter pulling in a bunch of parsers the next time you open Neovim)
