nvim

In nvim, run :CheckHealth. It checks for common problems and best practices.

If you run into problems, follow the Troubleshooting section below before filing an issue. If you still have problems:

Search the issue tracker for your problem. GitHub does not show closed issues by default, but it will search them. Many issues have been resolved already.
Include the link to the result of your brew gist-logs neovim command. We cannot debug issues without detailed information about the failure.
It helps to capture the verbose (-v) install output. For example, brew install neovim would become brew install -v neovim. Paste the output in your bug report, and make sure to wrap it with a "fence" so it renders correctly:
```
  # output goes here
```

Run brew update then try again.
Run brew doctor to diagnose common issues.
Check that Command Line Tools for Xcode (CLT) and/or Xcode are up to date by checking for updates in the App Store.
- If the build fails with fatal error: '__debug' file not found, you have to install Xcode. This is due to a bug in the Xcode CLT 6.3.
- If the build fails with ld: library not found for -lgcc_s, make sure you have the same version of Xcode and Xcode CLT installed.
Check the Homebrew Troubleshooting page. In particular, the Check for common issues section.
You can create a gist log with brew gist-logs neovim.
Use --verbose to get the verbose output, i.e. brew install --HEAD --verbose neovim.
Use --debug to be in the debug mode. In the debug mode, when failing, you can go into the interactive shell to check the building files before homebrew neutralizing them.
If you encounter the error CMAKE_USE_SYSTEM_CURL is ON but a curl is not found, then you're missing the dependency for cURL that allows downloads over TLS. Refer to your operating system's section in Linuxbrew Dependencies to fix this.
