Install from package
Pre-built packages for Windows, macOS, and Linux are found on the Releases page.
Managed packages are in Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch Linux, Gentoo, and more!
Install from source
The build is CMake-based, but a Makefile is provided as a convenience.
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
sudo make install
To install to a non-default location:
make CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/full/path/
make install
To skip bundled (third-party/*) dependencies:
- Install the dependencies using a package manager.
sudo apt install gperf luajit luarocks libuv1-dev libluajit-5.1-dev libunibilium-dev libmsgpack-dev libtermkey-dev libvterm-dev libutf8proc-dev sudo luarocks build mpack sudo luarocks build lpeg sudo luarocks build inspect - Build with
USE_BUNDLED=OFF:make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo USE_BUNDLED=OFF sudo make install
To inspect the build, these CMake features are useful:
cmake --build build --target helplists all build targets.build/CMakeCache.txt(orcmake -LAH build/) contains the resolved values of all CMake variables.build/compile_commands.jsonshows the full compiler invocations for each translation unit.
See the Building Neovim wiki page for details.
Transitioning from Vim
See :help nvim-from-vim for instructions.
