of ``sh build.sh`` you should substitute ``build.bat`` on x86 Windows or
``build64.bat`` on x86_64 Windows):

**Note: The following commands are for the development version of the compiler.**
For most users, installing the latest stable version is enough. Check out

git clone https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim.git
cd Nim
# step 2 (posix) clones `csources.git`, bootstraps Nim compiler and compiles tools
sh build_all.sh
# step 2 (windows)
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/nim-lang/csources.git
cd csources
sh build.sh
cd ../
bin/nim c koch
./koch boot -d:release
./koch tools # Compile Nimble and other tools.
# requires `gcc` in your PATH, see also https://nim-lang.org/install_windows.html
build.bat # x86 Windows
build64.bat # x86_64 Windows
cd ..
bin\nim c koch
koch boot -d:release
koch tools # Compile Nimble and other tools
# end of step 2 (windows)
