How to install Neovim on Ubuntu?

How can I install Neovim on Ubuntu? Should I compile it from source?

The installation steps are a little bit blurry for me...

From the universe repo

sudo apt install neovim

From source

0. Download the master branch from Github

1. Install the dependencies

   sudo apt-get install libtool autoconf automake cmake libncurses5-dev g++

2. Go to the root of the project and build

   make cmake
   make test

3. Run nvim in /neovim-master/build/bin

That works for me.

From the PPA repository

0. Add the repository

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

1. Update and install

    $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install neovim

According to official Wiki:

Neovim has been added to a Personal Package Archive which allows you to install it using apt-get on Ubuntu 12.04 and later

Run the following commands:

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

Prerequisites for the Python modules:

sudo apt-get install python-dev python-pip python3-dev python3-pip

Now you can simply do:

sudo apt install neovim

1

curl -LO
chmod u+x nvim.appimage
./nvim.appimage

from

It just downloads standalone appimage. u can place it in path if you want to excute it from anywhere. Works on ALL DISTRIBUTIONS

I followed the;

git clone **;
cd neovim;
make cmake
make test

ended up with nvim that worked, but isn't integrated with the system. I might leave him a few weeks/months to get it into some sort of state. But it does work.
