So, maybe I'm dumb, but on latest version I can't seem to open the tutor.

You need to set up the runtime directory:

helix/README.md

Lines 60 to 96 in c704701

	Helix needs its runtime files so make sure to copy/symlink the `runtime/` directory into the
	config directory (for example `~/.config/helix/runtime` on Linux/macOS, or `%AppData%/helix/runtime` on Windows).
	| OS | Command |
	| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
	| Windows (Cmd) | `xcopy /e /i runtime %AppData%\helix\runtime` |
	| Windows (PowerShell) | `xcopy /e /i runtime $Env:AppData\helix\runtime` |
	| Linux / macOS | `ln -s $PWD/runtime ~/.config/helix/runtime` |
	Starting with Windows Vista you can also create symbolic links on Windows. Note that this requires
	elevated privileges - i.e. PowerShell or Cmd must be run as administrator.
	**PowerShell:**
	```powershell
	New-Item -ItemType Junction -Target "runtime" -Path "$Env:AppData\helix\runtime"
	```
	Note: "runtime" must be absolute path to the runtime directory.
	**Cmd:**
	```cmd
	cd %appdata%\helix
	mklink /D runtime "<helix-repo>\runtime"
	```
	The runtime location can be overridden via the `HELIX_RUNTIME` environment variable.
	> NOTE: if `HELIX_RUNTIME` is set prior to calling `cargo install --locked --path helix-term`,
	> tree-sitter grammars will be built in `$HELIX_RUNTIME/grammars`.
	If you plan on keeping the repo locally, an alternative to copying/symlinking
	runtime files is to set `HELIX_RUNTIME=/path/to/helix/runtime`
	(`HELIX_RUNTIME=$PWD/runtime` if you're in the helix repo directory).
	Packages already solve this for you by wrapping the `hx` binary with a wrapper
	that sets the variable to the install dir.

How did you install? Build from source, a package manager, or one of the binaries from https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/releases/latest?

Thanks! I'm going to try that. Seems like I can't RTFM ^^"

It was from the release page (helix-22.12-x86_64-linux.tar.xz)

EDIT: It works, thanks for your help! A simple cp -r ./helix-22.12-x86_64-linux/runtime ~/.config/helix/runtime did the trick.

Maybe it could be an idea to show an error message if the runtime directory isn't available, instead of silently failing?

There's a PR along those lines: #5076

Explaining what the runtime directory is and how to fix it takes a fair amount of text though so we're waiting on support for in-editor longer form documentation (#997)
