Answer 1

Here are some alternative options:

• Install neovim via guix package --install neovim: https://packages.guix.gnu.org/packages/neovim (has 0.9.1 at the time or writing this).
  Install guix in turn with apt install guix
• Install neovim via nix-env --install neovim.
  Install nix-env with apt install nix-bin: https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/nix-bin
• Install neovim from the makedeb Package Repository: https://mpr.makedeb.org/packages/neovim

Currently, Ubuntu is still stuck at neovim 0.7.2: https://packages.ubuntu.com/mantic/neovim

Answer 2

make 1 - nvim --version 2 try remove current nvim (example now 0.6.4.) sudo apt remove neovim 3 and again install neovim for example enter link description here if you use Ubuntu

Answer 3

Solved by building neovim v0.8.0+ from source.
