# Command line
* pass nvim custom execution path (by default used `nvim` command)
```
cargo run -- --nvim-bin-path=E:\Neovim\bin\nvim.exe
```
# Install
## From sources
By default to `/usr/local`:
```
make install
```
Or to some custom path:
```
make PREFIX=/some/custom/path install
```

## Ubuntu snap package
Not usable for now due to some limitation!

This package also includes neovim, so neovim not needed and if present in system - not used. Install command:
```
sudo snap install nvim-gtk --channel=candidate
```
There is some limitation for package: only `/home` directory available for editing and '~' is mapped to snap home directory.
Config files must be placed in `~/snap/nvim-gtk/common/config/nvim/[g]init.vim` directory

Run command: `nvim-gtk <file_name>` or from dash: `NeovimGtk`.

To run neovim provided by snap package execute: `nvim-gtk.neovim`.
