On -Windows we recommend that you use -`Mingw-w64 <http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/>`_. GCC is recommended on Linux -and Clang on Mac. The Windows installers above already includes a C compiler. - -This installation method is the preferred way for Linux, Mac OS X, and other Unix -like systems. - -Firstly, download this archive: - -* | `nim-0.16.0.tar.xz (2.9MB) <download/nim-0.16.0.tar.xz>`_ - | SHA-256 9e199823be47cba55e62dd6982f02cf0aad732f369799fec42a4d8c2265c5167 - -Extract the archive. Then copy the extracted files into your chosen installation -directory, ideally somewhere in your home directory. -For example: ``~/programs/nim``. - -Now open a terminal and follow these instructions: - -* ``cd`` into your installation directory, for example by executing -``cd ~/programs/nim``. -* run ``sh build.sh``. -* Add ``$your_install_dir/bin`` to your PATH. -* To build associated tools like ``nimble`` and ``nimsuggest`` run ``nim c koch && ./koch tools``. - -After restarting your terminal, you should be able to run ``nim -v`` -which should show you the version of Nim you just installed. - -There are other ways to install Nim (like using the ``install.sh`` script), -but these tend to cause more problems. - - -Bleeding edge installation from GitHub --------------------------------------- - -`GitHub <http://github.com/nim-lang/nim>`_ is where Nim's development takes -place. You may wish to grab the latest development version of Nim, because -sometimes bug fixes and new features may not have made it to an official -release yet. In those circumstances you are better off grabbing the -current development branch. - -You will also need to do this if you would like to contribute to Nim. - -Before you download the code, open a new terminal and ``cd`` into the -directory where you would like the download to take place. - -The following commands can be used to download the current development branch -and then to build it:: - - git clone https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim.git - cd Nim - git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/nim-lang/csources - cd csources && sh build.sh - cd .. - bin/nim c koch - ./koch boot -d:release - -You should then add the ``./bin`` (make sure to expand this into an -absolute path) directory to your ``PATH``. - - -Docker Hub ----------- - -The `official Docker images <https://hub.docker.com/r/nimlang/nim/>`_ -are published on Docker Hub and include the compiler and Nimble. There are images -for standalone scripts as well as Nimble packages. - -Get the latest stable image:: - - docker pull nimlang/nim - -The latest development version:: - - docker pull nimlang/nim:devel |
