-Installation
-============
-
-Installation on Linux/UNIX
---------------------------
-
-The GNU C Compiler is fully supported, other compilers may work. The C compiler
-should be in your ``$PATH`` (most likely the case). Note that some few Linux
-distributions do not ship with a GCC compiler preinstalled - then you have to
-install it.
-
-Install Nim by downloading the appropriate ``.tar.xz`` file and extracting it
-to a directory of your choice. The Nim Compiler will stay in this
-directory (unless you copy it somewhere else). The compiler does not need
-write access to its directory, so copying the nim folder to ``/opt``
-works.
-
-Then run the following command::
-
-  sh build.sh
-
-Unlike other software, Nim does not distribute its files over the whole file
-hierarchy. This has the advantage that you can deinstall it by just deleting
-its folder. The disadvantage is that you have to add it to your ``PATH``
-manually. An alternative is to create a symbolic link in ``/usr/bin``::
-
-  [sudo] ln -s $your_install_dir/bin/nim  /usr/bin/nim
-
-There are also ``install.sh`` and ``deinstall.sh`` scripts for distributing
-the files over the UNIX hierarchy. However, updating your Nim installation
-is more cumbersome then.
-
-To complete the installation you should also build Nim's tools like
-``nimsuggest``, ``nimble`` or ``nimgrep`` via::
-
-  nim c koch
-  koch tools
-
-Note that these tools should also end up in your ``PATH`` so adding
-``$your_install_dir/bin/nim`` to your ``PATH`` is preferred over the symlink
-solution.
-
-
-Installation on the Macintosh
------------------------------
-
-Only MacOS X is supported.
-Since MacOS X is UNIX based too, it works like the installation on Linux.
-However, for unknown reasons the symbolic link method does not work on MacOS X.
-You need to install Apple's developer's tools for the GNU Compiler Collection
-or clang.
-
-
-Installation on Windows
------------------------
-
-Install Nim by downloading and unzipping the ``nim_$version.zip`` file.
-Run ``finish.exe`` to detect and setup your MingW environment.
-
-Currently, the following C compilers are supported under Windows:
-
-- | Microsoft's Visual C++
-  | http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc
-  | (You need the SDK too - but not the full one: Only
-    the win32api header files and import libraries are essential.)
-- | Gnu C Compiler (the mingw version; the cygwin version has not been tested!)
-  | http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml
-- | LLVM with Clang or GNU C/C++ frontend
-  | http://llvm.org/releases/download.html
-
-However, most testing is done with GCC.
-
-Bootstrapping from GitHub
--------------------------
-
-Take a look at the readme file on github `here <https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim#readme>`_
-for instructions.
-
-
-Installation of Nimble
-----------------------
-
-Nimble is Nim's package manager. For the source based installations where you
-added Nim's ``bin`` directory to your ``$PATH`` the easiest way of installing
-Nimble is via::
-
-  nim c koch
-  koch nimble

-This package contains the Nim compiler, Nim's stdlib, tools and
-documentation.
-
-Nim is a compiled, garbage-collected systems programming language which has
-an excellent productivity/performance ratio. Nim's design focuses on
-efficiency, expressiveness, elegance (in the order of priority).
-
-Read install.txt for instructions of how to build and install it.
-
-The compiler and the standard library are licensed under the MIT license,
-except for some modules where the documentation suggests otherwise. This means
-that you can use any license for your own programs developed with Nim,
-allowing you to create commercial applications.
-
-Read copying.txt for more details.
