install the newest version of neovim

personally i am using gruvbox theme from my neovim and works perfectly fine with newest version of neovim that debian / devuan stable provideos ..

how to install the stable version of neovim . (currenlty is v9.1)

cd  /usr/local/bin/
sudo wget https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/download/stable/nvim-linux64.tar.gz 
sudo tar zxfv nvim-linux64.tar.gz
sudo rm -rf nvim-linux64.tar.gz
sudo ln -sf /usr/local/bin/nvim-linux64/bin/nvim /usr/local/bin/

and then you have the latest nvim .

if you want use nvim with editor and be the latest one .
simply .

sudo apt install -y neovim 
sudo rm /usr/bin/nvim 
sudo ln -sf /usr/local/bin/nvim-linux64/bin/nvim /usr/bin
