Example

# First we need to setup nvenv to create its directories.
nvenv setup

# Then we install Neovim Nightly and latest stable (0.4.4).
# The first version downloaded will be used by default.
nvenv install nightly
nvenv install stable

# To switch to Neovim stable
nvenv use stable

NOTE: You need to add $HOME/.local/bin to your $PATH!

export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH. In this way, the shell will prefer to use the version that is being used in Nvenv instead of the version installed on the system.

Building

Dependencies

• v

First, you need to download the Nvenv repository (I assume that you have already installed V).

git clone https://github.com/NTBBloodbath/nvenv

If you use GNU Make then you can just run it for build

# Available platforms: linux, macos
make your_platform

Otherwise, you can compile it manually

v -prod nvenv.v
