+    1. Install `libintl`and `gettext` (e.g. via `brew install libintl gettext`)
+    2. Download **nvim-macos.tar.gz**
+    3. Run `xattr -c ./nvim-macos.tar.gz` (to avoid "unknown developer" warning)
+    4. Make local apps directory for neovim (and other things like node.js, etc.)
+
+    ```shell
+    mkdir -P ~/.local/apps
+    ```
+
+    5. Extract the neovim download
+
+    ```shell
+    tar zvxf nvim-macos.tar.gz -C ~/.local/apps/
+    ```

+    ln -s ~/.local/apps/nvim-macos/bin/nvim ~/.local/bin/nvim
+    ```
