runtime(dist): centralize safe executable check and add vim library (vim/vim#13413)
Follow up to 816fbcc26 (patch 9.0.1833: [security] runtime file fixes,
2023-08-31) and f7ac0ef50 (runtime: don't execute external commands when
loading ftplugins, 2023-09-06).
This puts the logic for safe executable checks in a single place, by introducing
a central vim library, so all filetypes benefit from consistency.
Notable changes:
- dist#vim because the (autoload) namespace for a new runtime support
library. Supporting functions should get documentation. It might make
life easier for NeoVim devs to make the documentation a new file
rather than cram it into existing files, though we may want
cross-references to it somewhere…
- The gzip and zip plugins need to be opted into by enabling execution
of those programs (or the global plugin_exec). This needs
documentation or discussion.
- This fixes a bug in the zig plugin: code setting s:tmp_cwd was removed
in f7ac0ef50 (runtime: don't execute external commands when loading
ftplugins, 2023-09-06), but the variable was still referenced. Since
the new function takes care of that automatically, the variable is no
longer needed.

See :help nvim-features
for the full list, and :help news
for noteworthy changes in the latest version!
Install from package
Pre-built packages for Windows, macOS, and Linux are found on the Releases page.
Managed packages are in Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch Linux, Void Linux, Gentoo, and more!
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 help
lists all build targets.build/CMakeCache.txt
(orcmake -LAH build/
) contains the resolved values of all CMake variables.build/compile_commands.json
shows the full compiler invocations for each translation unit.
Transitioning from Vim
See :help nvim-from-vim
