+
+``` bash

+After installation run `nvim` and then `:PackerInstall`
+
+## Get the latest version of Neovim
+
+Some operating systems package versions of Neovim 0.5. You can install
+those or you can follow the steps below to compile from source.
+Compiling from source is the recommended method.
+
+First, get the dependencies. For distributions other than Ubuntu or Arch
+go
+[here](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Building-Neovim#build-prerequisites)
+
+``` bash
+#Ubuntu
+sudo apt-get install gettext libtool libtool-bin autoconf automake cmake g++ pkg-config unzip build-essential
+#Arch
+sudo pacman -S base-devel cmake unzip ninja tree-sitter
+```
+
+Download and compile Neovim
+
+``` bash
+cd $(mktemp -d)
+git clone https://github.com/neovim/neovim --depth 1
+cd neovim
+sudo make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release install
+cd ..
+sudo rm -r neovim
+```
+
+or if you are on Arch you can get it from the AUR
+
+``` bash
+yay -S neovim-git
+```
+
+
+If you are on Gentoo you have to emerge the 9999 neovim version with luajit as the lua single target
+

+
+## Troubleshooting installation problems
+If you encounter problems with the installation check the following: 
+1. Make sure you have at least version 0.5 of neovim. There were some breaking changes in the development of 0.5 so upgrade to the newest available version to rule out incompatibilities.  
+2. Make sure neovim was compiled with luajit. 
+  ```bash
+  # The output of version information should include a line for: LuaJIT 
+  nvim -v
+  ```
+3. If you ran the [quick-install script](#install-in-one-command) using sudo, follow the steps to [uninstall](#uninstalling) and try again without sudo. 
+4. Make sure the [dependencies](#useful-programs) were installed.  
+5. Make sure your plugins are installed and updated. Run :PackerSync
