I might be wrong, but you need at least nvim v0.5.0 or above. Can you update your nvim and try again?

README.md suggest only latest stable and nightly of neovim. I think at least v0.7.x because of the new function vim.keymap.set but I might be wrong.

you need v0.8.1 or nightly, as stated in the readme.
