Running ARM Ubuntu on Oracle cloud. Bob installed x86_64. Installed bob using cargo install --git https://github.com/MordechaiHadad/bob.git (if it matters)

yeah unfortunately bob only installs versions from neovim github releases which don't include arm versions sadly...
I can probably open a github issue on neovim's repo regarding this, but I don't have control of this.

[NexusNovaz]

Ahh, thats a shame. Just found this issue on neovims repo.

[MordechaiHadad]

You can probably just use bob to build neovim if you still want to have bob installed, otherwise it is kinda useless on arm sadly

Sorry, how can you do this with bob?

[MordechaiHadad]

you simply do bob install <commit-hash>
I haven't tried it on arm but i think it should work

So this would work with bob install <commit-hash-of-tagged-release>, correct?

Absolutely

I can confirm that this works great with the current release hash on the nvim page 🎉 I don't mind manually updating that hash now and then until the upstream project figures out their aarch64 binaries.

Thanks @MordechaiHadad !

To be clear, I ran:

$ bob install 129264dbb41404b94b835baadfc3fa25ffac3d3e
$ bob use 129264d

And now my proxy executable at ~/.local/share/bob/nvim-bin works 🎉

[MordechaiHadad]

To be clear, I ran:

$ bob install 129264dbb41404b94b835baadfc3fa25ffac3d3e
$ bob use 129264d

Oh wow that works?

[0atman]

YEP!
Also, I guess I just needed the use line, right?

[MordechaiHadad]

YEP! Also, I guess I just needed the use line, right?

yeah, use auto invokes install, unless u disable it with --no-install
