hi all, i tried installing through apt and got an older 0.6.4 and i tried installing through an appimage but for some reason nvchad didnt accept it. also what is nerdfonts and is that the default for linux mint? been at this for an hour and am very confused
distrobox with Fedora or Arch
I’ve generally just been compiling from source. Sometimes in a docker container.
I’m a heavy neovim user, also using Linux mint. I use the app image from the GitHub release page. Sure it means having it not automated, but that’s fine with me.
Basically download the appimage, make it executable with
chmod +x
and move it to a location in your PATH, line~/.local/bin/nvim
(nvim being the name of the file, add that to your path. Another popular location might be/usr/local/bin/nvim
). Afterwards, you can just usenvim
in your terminal.Throw it in an arch distrobox and export it
Options:
- Use bob version manager
- Add the ppa
- Use Nix Package Manager (Don’t go down the Nix rabbit hole unless you really want to)
are ppas permanent? does my system scan for those addresses every update?
AFAIK, if you install via the ppa, then it will update
neovim
when youapt update
Try installing it with nix
how
