+Download the compiler
+=====================
+
+You can download the latest version of the Nim compiler here.
+
+**Note:** The Nim 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.
+
+
+Binaries
+--------
+
+Unfortunately for now we only provide builds for Windows.
+* 32 bit: `nim-0.13.0_x32.exe <download/nim-0.13.0_x32.exe>`_
+* 64 bit: `nim-0.13.0_x64.exe <download/nim-0.13.0_x64.exe>`_
+
+
+Installation based on generated C code
+--------------------------------------
+
+This installation method is the preferred way for Linux, Mac OS X, and other Unix
+like systems. Binary packages may be provided later.
+
+
+Download this:
+
+* `nim-0.13.0.tar.xz (3.1MB) <download/nim-0.13.0.tar.xz>`_
+
+Extract the file and follow these instructions:
+
+* sh build.sh
+* Add ``$your_install_dir/bin`` to your PATH.
+
+There are other ways to install Nim (like using the ``install.sh`` script),
+but these tend to cause more problems.
+
+
+Installation from github
+------------------------
+
+Use the following commands to build the compiler from source.
+Change the branch to suit your needs::
+
+  git clone -b master git://github.com/nim-lang/Nim.git
+  cd Nim
+  git clone -b master --depth 1 git://github.com/nim-lang/csources
+  cd csources && sh build.sh
+  cd ..
+  bin/nim c koch
+  ./koch boot -d:release
+
+The ``master`` branch always contains the latest stable version of the compiler.
+If you want bleeding edge then switch to the ``devel`` branch and follow
+the same instructions outlined above.
