+You can download the latest version of the Nimrod compiler here. You can
+use the binaries provided or build from source.
+
+Binaries
+========
+
+All installers and archives contain the html documentation and tools
+(nimgrep, c2nim and babel).
+
+**Note:** The Nimrod compiler requires a C compiler to compile software. On
+Windows we recommend that you use
+`Mingw-w64 <http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/>`_. GCC is recommended on Linux
+and clang on Mac OS X.

+Installers
