# Nvim Debian Pkg


NVIM stopped making Debian packages a while back, so here is a short note on how to
do this yourself. Had a hard time finding this info, hence reproduced here. Assuming you've
got the source.

1. `make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release`
2. `cd build && cpack -G DEB`
3. `sudo dpkg -i nvim-linux64.deb`

... and of course you then find the [authoritative
text](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Building-Neovim#quick-start).

If you use `RelWithDebInfo` an ever growing log file will be created in `~/.local/state/nvim/log`.

Potentially you'll need:

0. `rm -rf .deps/*` if you get an CMake error.
