Building Neovim

One can easily build neovim from sources, for that git clone it somewhere first.

git clone [email protected]:neovim/neovim.git

Then run the commands

make CMAKE_EXTRA_FLAGS=$"-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=($env.HOME)/programs/neovim/out" CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

If we’ll try to run the build/bin/nvim binary now it will show an error because we’re missing the last install step.

make install

Finally - adding to PATH. In my path.nu I specify:

path add ($env.HOME | path join "/programs/neovim/out/bin")
