PackerInstall isn't installed

[mTvare6]

I ran git clone https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim\ ~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/packer/start/packer.nvim but still PackerInstall doesn't work

Dont execute its install command in one line , try

git clone https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim\
~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/packer/start/packer.nvim

Open a new terminal with nvim and type :PackerInstall

It works for me : a video (https://share.vidyard.com/watch/woJ2XzFUPevtLZUrK4tdj6?)
