sudo apt install neovim
Download the master branch from Github
Install the dependencies
sudo apt-get install libtool autoconf automake cmake libncurses5-dev g++
Go to the root of the project and build
make cmake
make test
Run nvim
in /neovim-master/build/bin
That works for me.
Add the repository
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:neovim-ppa/unstable
Update and install
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install neovim
nvim
location so that it is indirectly included in your $PATH.

~/bin
and adding that directory to your path. This makes it easier to add other scripts to your PATH too.
According to official Wiki:
Neovim has been added to a Personal Package Archive which allows you to install it using apt-get on Ubuntu 12.04 and later
Run the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:neovim-ppa/unstable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install neovim
Prerequisites for the Python modules:
sudo apt-get install python-dev python-pip python3-dev python3-pip
Now you can simply do:
sudo apt install neovim
curl -LO https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/download/nightly/nvim.appimage
chmod u+x nvim.appimage
./nvim.appimage
from https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Installing-Neovim
It just downloads standalone appimage. u can place it in path if you want to excute it from anywhere. Works on ALL DISTRIBUTIONS
I followed the;
git clone **;
cd neovim;
make cmake
make test
ended up with nvim that worked, but isn't integrated with the system. I might leave him a few weeks/months to get it into some sort of state. But it does work.
You can install it with sudo apt install neovim
or sudo snap install nvim --classic
but in both cases you will not get the latest version of neovim, with apt being the worst of the two.
The best way to install the latest version of Neovim - and keep it up to date - is by using bob:
wget https://github.com/MordechaiHadad/bob/releases/download/<version>/bob-linux-x86_64.zip
unzip bob-linux-x86_64.zip
cd bob-linux-x86_64/
chmod +x bob
echo "export PATH=\"/home/<username>/.local/share/bob/nvim-bin:\$PATH\"" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
./bob install stable
./bob use stable
