I've tried installing pynvim with both pip3 install pynvim and pip3 install --user pynvim but I get:

Exception:

pip3 install --user pynvin does not work in your environment. I think your platform (CentOS7) is old.

You should use sudo pip3 install pynvim instead.

yep, permissions error of some sort. Find out how to install python packages on your system...
