Install Latest neovim (nvim)

Thanks to AppImage, the nvim application can be downloaded directly from the releases section of the neovim git repo, made executable, and used. I learned about this, from this DEV post. Simply, use curl to download nvim to the location you want (in my case, I used /usr/bin/nvim , but in the post, they put it somewhere else.
# get the latest stable build
sudo curl -o /usr/bin/nvim -LO https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/download/stable/nvim.appimage

# make it exectuable
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/nvim
Note:
I have made small changes to the commands from the original post, to fit my own needs.
