Installation

The Neovim Python client supports Python 2.7, and 3.4 or later.

Using pip

You can install the package without being root by adding the --user flag:

pip2 install neovim
pip3 install neovim

Note

If you only use one of python2 or python3, it is enough to install that version.

If you follow Neovim master, make sure to upgrade the python-client when you upgrade Neovim:

pip2 install --upgrade neovim
pip3 install --upgrade neovim

Install from source

Clone the repository somewhere on your disk and enter to the repository:

git clone https://github.com/neovim/python-client.git
cd python-client

Now you can install it on your system:

pip2 install .
pip3 install .
