From 96d0f4a2d71662032b3a17224a0a9ef0a1861d6a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junghyeon Park Date: Fri, 19 Jan 2024 17:34:51 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] docs(INSTALL.md): remove update-alternatives instructions (#27060) There are various other ways people can mimic the old commands, and plenty of people that have never heard of the old commands. This increases the consistency of the whole document by restricting it to the scope to installation of Nvim and its CLI commands. --- INSTALL.md | 22 ---------------------- 1 file changed, 22 deletions(-) diff --git a/INSTALL.md b/INSTALL.md index 3b882ab6c9..2246058bca 100644 --- a/INSTALL.md +++ b/INSTALL.md @@ -155,17 +155,6 @@ Python (`:python`) support is installable via the package manager on Debian unst sudo apt-get install python3-neovim -If installing via appimage, the following commands may be helpful in updating default paths: - - # CUSTOM_NVIM_PATH=/usr/local/bin/nvim.appimage - # Set the above with the correct path, then run the rest of the commands: - set -u - sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/ex ex "${CUSTOM_NVIM_PATH}" 110 - sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/vi vi "${CUSTOM_NVIM_PATH}" 110 - sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/view view "${CUSTOM_NVIM_PATH}" 110 - sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/vim vim "${CUSTOM_NVIM_PATH}" 110 - sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/vimdiff vimdiff "${CUSTOM_NVIM_PATH}" 110 - ### Exherbo Linux Exhereses for scm and released versions are currently available in repository `::medvid`.
