If you installed neovim using apt, don't forget to
sudo apt remove neovim neovim-runtimebefore or after installation, order does not matter. Also make sure to have the time/patience, because compiling this on the pi zero W (the v1 single core) takes over 1.5 hours to complete.(you might also need to run
sudo apt autoremovebefore the compiled nvim gets installed)
