Neovim

Installing neovim should be pretty easy.

First get the latest appimage:

curl -LO https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/download/nightly/nvim.appimage

Then chmod it to be executable:

chmod u+x nvim.appimage

If you run ./nvim.appimage a new neovim instance will be started.

Then you can move it to somewhere in your $PATH. To keep our home directory clean, we'll move it to ~/bin. Make sure ~/bin is in your $PATH.

mkdir -p ~/bin
mv ./nvim.appimage ~/bin/nvim

Incase nvim fails to open, try the following:

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

sudo apt install libfuse2
