$COLORTERM is set in the terminal emulator based on the value of
'termguicolors' ("truecolor" if &tgc is set, 256 otherwise), but ONLY if
$COLORTERM is also set in the parent terminal emulator.
This is an unnecessary restriction that can cause issues in some cases.
For instance, $COLORTERM is stripped by default by OpenSSH, so is not
present in an SSH session. The terminal emulator still supports 24 bit
color, so the lack of $COLORTERM is not a reliable indicator. When an
application runs in Nvim's :terminal it thus has no way to know whether
or not true color is supported.
Instead, setting it unconditionally based on 'termguicolors' uses the
user's own preferences to infer if 24-bit color is supported, rather
than depending on the (unreliable) presence of $COLORTERM. If
'termguicolors' is set in a terminal that does not support true color
then the colors in Nvim will already look bad. Enabling them for
applications in the terminal emulator will not make it any worse.
If 'termguicolors' is not set then the value of $COLORTERM from the
parent terminal (if any) is forwarded to Nvim's :terminal.

Install from package
Pre-built packages for Windows, macOS, and Linux are found on the Releases page.

Install from source
See the Building Neovim wiki page and supported platforms for details.
The build is CMake-based, but a Makefile is provided as a convenience. After installing the dependencies, run the following command.
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
sudo make install
To install to a non-default location:
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/full/path/
make install
CMake hints for inspecting the build:
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.
