Running prerelease versions

Download from the releases page on GitHub.

Say you downloaded to ~/Downloads, verify the signature, then unpack the archive:

cd ~Downloads
tar xzf nvim-macos-arm64.tar.gz

And add to your $PATH; in my case, I use the prepend_to helper function defined here, which prepends an item to the specified variable only if it is not already present:

prepend_to PATH "$HOME/Downloads/nvim-macos-arm64/bin"

If macOS complains about not being able to run the software because it cannot be verified, do this:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ~/Downloads/nvim-macos-arm64/bin/nvim

If it then complains along the lines of "“lua.so” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.", this is a sign that the bundled treesitter parsers also have tobe marked safe as well. Failure to do so means that Neovim will complain like this whenever you try to open a Lua file:

Error detected while processing BufReadPost Autocommands for "*":

script $HOME/Downloads/nvim-macos-arm64/share/nvim/runtime/ftplugin/lua.lua:
Vim(runtime):E5113: Error while calling lua chunk:

The fix, then, is:

$ find . -name '*.so'
./lib/nvim/parser/c.so
./lib/nvim/parser/vim.so
./lib/nvim/parser/markdown.so
./lib/nvim/parser/vimdoc.so
./lib/nvim/parser/lua.so
./lib/nvim/parser/query.so
./lib/nvim/parser/markdown_inline.so
$ find . -name '*.so' -exec xattr -d com.apple.quarantine {} \;
