For package maintainers: see [packaging guidelines](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/packaging.html).
First get Nim from github:
```
# step 1:
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
# 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)
```
Next run the appropriate build shell script for your platform:
* `build_all.sh` (Linux, Mac)
* `build_all.bat` (Windows)
Finally, once you have finished the build steps (on Windows, Mac or Linux) you
should add the ``bin`` directory to your PATH.
