I have installed nvim using AppImage mentioned as below
curl -LO https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/download/nightly/nvim.appimage
chmod u+x nvim.appimage
./nvim.appimage
if i use nvim test,yml ,it fails as '-bash: /usr/bin/nvim: No such file or directory'
if i use ./nvim.appimage test.yml then it works. How to map this to nvim so that it works properly?
Linux looks for binaries in the paths that are set in $PATH variable. To check current paths execute echo $PATH
One way to fix it would be to move nvim.appimage (and rename it to just nvim) to one of the paths set in that variable.
Another way is to append the current path of nvim.appimage to $PATH. This was answered in detail How to correctly add a path to PATH?
Move it into /usr/local/bin/nvim
sudo mv nvim.appimage /usr/local/bin/nvim
wget https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/download/v0.10.1/nvim.appimage
chmod +x nvim.appimage
./nvim.appimage --appimage-extract
#you can use mc to go faster
sudo mv ./squashfs-root/usr/bin/nvim /usr/local/bin/nvim
sudo mv ./squashfs-root/usr/lib/nvimcd .. /usr/local/lib/nvim
# move all from share to /usr/local/share/
sudo mv ./squashfs-root/usr/share/* /usr/local/share/
rm -rf nvim.appimage
rm -rf squashfs-root
# on error sudo apt install build-essential
