Neovim is a project that seeks to aggressively refactor Vim in order to:
|
|
|
|
- Simplify maintenance and encourage [contributions](CONTRIBUTING.md)
|
|
- Split the work between multiple developers
|
|
- Enable [advanced UIs] without modifications to the core
|
|
- Maximize [extensibility](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Plugin-UI-architecture)
|
|
|
|
See the [Introduction](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Introduction) wiki page and [Roadmap]
|
|
for more information.

Install from package
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Pre-built packages for Windows, macOS, and Linux are found on the
|
|
[Releases](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/) page.
|
|
|
|
[Managed packages] are in Homebrew, [Debian], [Ubuntu], [Fedora], [Arch Linux],
|
|
[Gentoo], and more!
|
|
|
|
Install from source
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
The build is CMake-based, but a Makefile is provided as a convenience.
|
|
|
|
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
|
|
To install to a non-default location:
|
|
|
|
make CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/full/path/
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
To skip bundled (`third-party/*`) dependencies:
|
|
|
|
1. Install the dependencies using a package manager.
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt install gperf luajit luarocks libuv1-dev libluajit-5.1-dev libunibilium-dev libmsgpack-dev libtermkey-dev libvterm-dev libutf8proc-dev
|
|
sudo luarocks build mpack
|
|
sudo luarocks build lpeg
|
|
sudo luarocks build inspect
|
|
```
|
|
2. Build with `USE_BUNDLED=OFF`:
|
|
```
|
|
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo USE_BUNDLED=OFF
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To inspect the build, these CMake features are useful:
|
|
|
|
- `cmake --build build --target help` lists all build targets.
|
|
- `build/CMakeCache.txt` (or `cmake -LAH build/`) contains the resolved values of all CMake variables.
|
|
- `build/compile_commands.json` shows the full compiler invocations for each translation unit.
|
|
|
|
See the [Building Neovim](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Building-Neovim) wiki page for details.
