+For some Debian systems it can be useful to install neovim manually to get a newer version number
+than the one shipped with the slow debian release schedule.
+For this the following lines can be used.
+
+```tex
+curl -LO https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/latest/download/nvim-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
+tar xzf nvim-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
+sudo mv nvim-linux-x86_64 /usr/local/nvim
+sudo ln -s /usr/local/nvim/bin/nvim /usr/local/bin/nvim
+```
+
+Updating works accordingly.
