Neovim is a project that seeks to aggressively refactor Vim in order to:
- Simplify maintenance and encourage [contributions](CONTRIBUTING.md)
- Split the work between multiple developers
- Enable [advanced UIs] without modifications to the core
- Maximize [extensibility](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Plugin-UI-architecture)
See the [Introduction](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Introduction) wiki page and [Roadmap]
for more information.

Install from package
--------------------
Pre-built packages for Windows, macOS, and Linux are found on the
[Releases](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/) page.
[Managed packages] are in [Homebrew], [Debian], [Ubuntu], [Fedora], [Arch Linux],
[Gentoo], and more!
Install from source
-------------------
See the [Building Neovim](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Building-Neovim) wiki page for details.
The build is CMake-based, but a Makefile is provided as a convenience.
After installing the dependencies, run the following command.
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
sudo make install
To install to a non-default location:
make CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/full/path/
make install
To inspect the build, these CMake features are useful:
- `cmake --build build --target help` lists all build targets.
- `build/CMakeCache.txt` (or `cmake -LAH build/`) contains the resolved values of all CMake variables.
- `build/compile_commands.json` shows the full compiler invocations for each translation unit.
Transitioning from Vim
--------------------
See [`:help nvim-from-vim`](https://neovim.io/doc/user/nvim.html#nvim-from-vim) for instructions.
