Install from package
====================

Packages are listed below. (You can also [build Neovim from source](#install-from-source).)

## Windows

Windows 8+ is required. Windows 7 or older is not supported.

### [Winget](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/winget/)

- **Release:** `winget install Neovim.Neovim`

### [Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org)

- **Latest Release:** `choco install neovim` (use -y for automatically skipping confirmation messages)
- **Development (pre-release):** `choco install neovim --pre`

### [Scoop](https://scoop.sh/)
```
scoop bucket add main
scoop install neovim
```
- **Release:** `scoop install neovim`

Several Neovim GUIs are available from scoop (extras): [scoop.sh/#/apps?q=neovim](https://scoop.sh/#/apps?q=neovim)

### Pre-built archives

0. If you are missing `VCRUNTIME140.dll`, install the [Visual Studio 2015 C++ redistributable](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2977003) (choose x86_64 or x86 depending on your system).
1. Choose a package (**nvim-winXX.zip**) from the [releases page](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases).
2. Unzip the package. Any location is fine, administrator privileges are _not_ required.
    - `$VIMRUNTIME` will be set to that location automatically.
3. Run `nvim.exe` from a terminal.

**Optional** steps:

- Add the `bin` folder (e.g. `C:\Program Files\nvim\bin`) to your PATH.
    - This makes it easy to run `nvim` from anywhere.
- If `:set spell` does not work, create the `C:/Users/foo/AppData/Local/nvim/site/spell` folder.
  You can then copy your spell files over (for English, located
  [here](https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/runtime/spell/en.utf-8.spl) and
  [here](https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/runtime/spell/en.utf-8.sug));
- For Python plugins you need the `pynvim` module. "Virtual envs" are recommended. After activating the virtual env do `pip install pynvim` (in *both*). Edit your `init.vim` so that it contains the path to the env's Python executable:
    ```vim
    let g:python3_host_prog='C:/Users/foo/Envs/neovim3/Scripts/python.exe'
    ```
    - Run `:checkhealth` and read `:help provider-python`.
- **init.vim ("vimrc"):** If you already have Vim installed you can copy `%userprofile%\_vimrc` to `%userprofile%\AppData\Local\nvim\init.vim` to use your Vim config with Neovim.

## macOS / OS X

### Pre-built archives

The [Releases](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases) page provides pre-built binaries for macOS 10.15+.

For x86_64:

curl -LO https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/download/nightly/nvim-macos-x86_64.tar.gz
    tar xzf nvim-macos-x86_64.tar.gz
    ./nvim-macos-x86_64/bin/nvim

For arm64:

curl -LO https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/download/nightly/nvim-macos-arm64.tar.gz
    tar xzf nvim-macos-arm64.tar.gz
    ./nvim-macos-arm64/bin/nvim

### [Homebrew](https://brew.sh) on macOS or Linux

brew install neovim

### [MacPorts](https://www.macports.org/)

sudo port selfupdate
    sudo port install neovim

## Linux

### Pre-built archives

The [Releases](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases) page provides pre-built binaries for Linux systems.

```sh
curl -LO https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/latest/download/nvim-linux64.tar.gz
sudo rm -rf /opt/nvim
sudo tar -C /opt -xzf nvim-linux64.tar.gz
```

Then add this to your shell config (`~/.bashrc`, `~/. zshrc`, ...):

export PATH="$PATH:/opt/nvim-linux64/bin"

### AppImage ("universal" Linux package)

The [Releases](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases) page provides an [AppImage](https://appimage.org) 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.)

curl -LO https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/latest/download/nvim.appimage
    chmod u+x nvim.appimage
    ./nvim.appimage

To expose nvim globally:

mkdir -p /opt/nvim
    mv nvim.appimage /opt/nvim/nvim

And the following line to your shell config (`~/.bashrc`, `~/. zshrc`, ...):

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

If the `./nvim.appimage` command fails, try:
```sh
./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
nvim
```

## Android

Install from source
===================

If a package is not provided for your platform, you can build Neovim from source. See [BUILD.md](./BUILD.md) for details.  If you have the [prerequisites](./BUILD.md#build-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 to `C:\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"

## Uninstall

There is a CMake target to _uninstall_ after `make install`:

```sh
sudo cmake --build build/ --target uninstall
```

Alternatively, just delete the `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` artifacts:

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