install neovim to amazonlinux

install_neovim_to_amazonlinux.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash
sudo yum groups install -y Development\ tools
sudo yum install -y cmake
sudo yum install -y python34-{devel,pip}
sudo pip-3.4 install neovim --upgrade
(
cd "$(mktemp -d)"
git clone https://github.com/neovim/neovim.git
cd neovim
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
sudo make install
)

I'm on Amazon Linux 2 and had to do the following:
I had cmake 2.8, which is lower than the minimum requirement for neovim 3.16, so build it from source:

sudo yum install openssl-devel
# Find latest version of cmake at https://cmake.org/download/
wget https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/releases/download/v3.31.4/cmake-3.31.4.tar.gz
tar -xvzf cmake-3.31.4.tar.gz
cd cmake-3.31.4
# optional to keep long running process alive:
tmux new
./bootstrap
make
sudo make install

And modify PATH so that it's found:

export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

Now build neovim:

# Updated build instructions: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/blob/master/BUILD.md#quick-start
git clone https://github.com/neovim/neovim
cd neovim
git checkout stable
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
sudo make install

Thanks for keeping this alive!

cd /tmp && curl -L -o nvim.tar.gz 'https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/download/v0.11.5/nvim-linux-arm64.tar.gz' && tar -xzf nvim.tar.gz && mkdir -p ~/.local && cp -r nvim-linux-arm64/* ~/.local/ && rm -rf nvim-linux-arm64 nvim.tar.gz && ~/.local/bin/nvim --version

You only need to do a shallow clone for the neovim git repo, no need to incur additional ingress charges:

git clone https://github.com/neovim/neovim --depth=1
