I just moved from Mac to Ubuntu.

I have set everything up but my lua keybindings are following the 0.7 configurations.

When I install neovim on Ubuntu it gives me 0.6.

I tried this:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:neovim-ppa/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install neovim

But it still gives me 0.6.

How do I target the 0.7 installation on Ubuntu?

  • This page linked from the NeoVim readme doesn't yet list 0.7. You might want to try a source build.

  • mmm I see. Just curious why I was able to update to 0.7.0 with Brew on mac? are they separate repos?

  • Completely; brew is a package manager for mac (that happens to have a linux counter part, linuxbrew). They maintain separate "package definitions."

  • Understood. I guess the solution is to re map my keybindings back to the 0.6 version. Thanks Ben

  • @D.BenKnoble I think you can write your comment as an answer here, since the question seems to be answered or am I wrong?

From the "Installing NeoVim" wiki page

I was struggling with nvim0.4 but those commands did the work to install nvim0.7 on Ubuntu.

Or you can use the "traditional" Linux way and

  1. install homebrew: /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
  2. brew install neovim

    I wouldn't call this the "traditional" Linux way (which would be compile from source or use your distro's package manager), but this is definitely viable.

You have not mentioned which version/release of Ubuntu you are using.

You can find the deb of neovim-0.7 from the neovim release page.

I am using it on my debian testing without any issues so far.

    I did see the answer. I just pointed out the location to a deb which could be installed easily without resorting ppa's. This maybe be useful for others.

Change stable to unstable:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:neovim-ppa/unstable

    Welcome to Vim :-) Thanks to your contribution. Your answer is very compact. Maybe could you elaborate and repeat part of the solution drafted on the question to have a full answer.

As I haven't yet committed to Neovim, I'm playing with the appimage. You can't get an easier (un) install procedure than with those.

If you're unfamiliar with appimages, just:

  • Download the file
  • Put it where you want it
  • Make it executable
  • run it

If I ever decide to switch from vim to nvim, I might switch to compiling it from source, but right now I'm not convinced.
