Added instructions on how to Install neovim on linux

The instructions on the neovim website don't get you to the same point where the video starts (as my unfortunate afternoon found out).

These instructions fill in the gap for a how to get a clean, mainline Linux distro to the point where the video starts.

TODO: Figure out how to get there for a mac because otherwise they're all stuck on VSCode

OSX installation is pretty simple. Terminal etc configurations are typically under ~/.config/.

# Install nvim using brew
brew install neovim
# Move to config directory
cd ~/.config/
# Create nvim directory
mkdir nvim
# Start Neovim in file explorer mode
nvim .

For OSX other things are also required. To get the ps-grep command working brew install ripgrep needs to be installed.
