Neovim has been added to a "Personal Package Archive" (PPA). This allows you to install it with apt-get. Follow the links to the PPAs to see which versions of Ubuntu are currently available via the PPA. Choose stable or unstable:
- https://launchpad.net/~neovim-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/stable (Bionic Beaver 18.04 or newer only).
- https://launchpad.net/~neovim-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/unstable
Important: those PPA have dropped support for Xenial 16.04 and older.
