AppImage (“universal” Linux package)

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.)

export PATH="$PATH:/opt/nvim/"

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

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

make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
sudo make install

For Unix-like systems this installs Neovim to/usr / local,while for Windows toC:\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"

There is a CMake target touninstall after make install:

sudo cmake --build build/ --target uninstall

Alternatively,just delete the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX artifact :

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