Installing Nimble

Nimble is bundled with Nim. This means that you should have Nimble installed already, as long as you have the latest version of Nim installed as well. Because of this, it is very likely that you do not need to install Nimble manually.

In case you still want to install Nimble manually, you can follow these installation instructions:

Using koch

The koch tool is included in the Nim distribution and repository. Simply navigate to the location of your Nim installation and execute the following command to compile and install Nimble:

./koch nimble

This will clone the Nimble repository, compile Nimble and copy it into Nim's bin directory.

Using Nimble

In most cases you will already have Nimble installed, you can install a newer version of Nimble by simply running the following command:

nimble install nimble

This will download the latest release of Nimble and install it on your system.

Note that you must have ~/.nimble/bin in your PATH for this to work. If you're using choosenim then you likely already have this set up correctly.
