- Neovim.app compiles on OS X 10.9 and 10.10.
- You'll need to install Xcode and its command-line tools.
- Homebrew isn't required but it's an easy way to install the rest of the dependencies.
$ brew install scons
$ brew install msgpack
$ brew tap neovim/homebrew-neovim
$ brew install --HEAD neovim
$ make
This will look for a Neovim executable on your PATH. To specify an executable to use, just set the NVIM environment variable, e.g.:
$ NVIM=/path/to/nvim make
When the .app bundle is created, Vim's runtime files will be copied into it.
By default, the build script asks Vim where its runtime files are, and Vim
will probably say they're somewhere under /usr
.
If you're compiling your own Neovim, and you don't want to install the runtime
files system-wide, the build script can copy the runtime files directly from
your neovim checkout. Just set VIM
when compiling, e.g.:
$ VIM=/path/to/your/neovim/checkout make
If you're setting one of these options, you'll most likely want to set both.
error: no member named 'ext' in 'msgpack::object::union_type'
This means your msgpack is out of date. Try:
brew uninstall msgpack
brew update
brew install msgpack
'msgpack.hpp' file not found
Homebrew installs things into /usr/local, but the compiler doesn't look there unless you've run:
xcode-select --install
so try doing that!
$ build/test
Neovim uses the first Python it finds on your PATH. If you've launched Neovim from anywhere other than a terminal, it will only see your system PATH, which probably doesn't have that fancy new version of Python you've installed on it.
To point Neovim at the Python installation you want to use, put this in your .nvimrc:
let g:python_host_prog='/path/to/python'
