bob: Cannot install nightly

First off thank you for this project! bob used to install and upgrade nightly tag without any issues, but today the command results in the following error:

bob install nightly
Mar 25 10:37:11.515 ERROR Error: Please provide an existing neovim version

I tried reinstalling bob, but no go.

FYI, I’ve got same issue with bob-nvim 2.8.2 on Max OSX.

a quick workaround would be to cp -r ~/.local/share/bob/nightly/nvim-macos-x86_84 ~/.local/shrare/bob/nvim-macos (or nvim-macos-arm64, depending on your current system).

It seems that the change is causing a panic. I am trying to install nightly after running erase.

Additionally, it gave an error when trying to install stable.

Hmm I see that neovim recently added arm macos distribution, not sure how it relates to this issue though. but I will add the arm support.

@MordechaiHadad sorry for not mentioning it from the start, but I use MacOS, brew installation.

@jellydn providing commit hash results in bob building nvim, not installing the provided tarballs
