@ -86,36 +86,7 @@ you also need to create a symlink for ``nimble``.
### Windows
You can install Nimble via a pre-built installation archive which is
available on the [releases](https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble/releases) page.
Alternatively, you can also install Nimble from source.
#### Using the pre-built archives
Download the latest release archive from the
[releases](https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble/releases) page. These archives
will have a filename of the form ``nimble-x_win32`` where ``x`` is the
current version.
Once you download that archive unzip it and execute the ``install.bat`` file.
One important thing to note is that this installation requires you have
the Nim compiler in your PATH. Once the installation completes you should
add ``C:\Users\YourName\.nimble\bin`` to your PATH.
#### From source
On Windows installing Nimble from source is slightly more complex:
git clone https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble.git
cd nimble
nim -d:release c src/nimble
cp src/nimble.exe src/nimble1.exe
src/nimble1.exe install
This is required because Windows will lock the process which is being run, but
during installation Nimble recompiles itself causing an error.
Once the installation completes you should
add ``C:\Users\YourName\.nimble\bin`` to your PATH.
The Windows installer ships with ``nimble.exe`` out of the box.
