I use neovim on centos. Usually build it myself, but I used to grap app image earlier, just do wget here:

https://github.com/neovim/neovim/archive/refs/tags/v0.7.0.ta...

and untar into a local ~<user>/usr/local directory that I maintain myself.

Compiling is neovim at work is a hassle, since its dependencies are from sites which are behind a firewall. So I decided to use locally built dependencies. The most painful part was getting the 3 luarocks 5.1 (which is not the latest) packages to compile locally and work with neovim.
