The following sections give platform-specific instructions on how to
compile and install Nimble.
### Unix
### Source based installation
On Unix-like operating systems Nimble can be compiled and installed with two
simple
commands. After successfully grabbing the latest Nim compiler simply execute
the following commands to clone nimble, compile it and then install it.
Run this command in your **Nim** directory::
git clone https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble.git
cd nimble
nim -d:release c -r src/nimble -y install
nim e install_nimble.nims
After these steps are completed successfully, nimble will be installed
in ``~/.nimble/bin``. You must then add
``~/.nimble/bin`` to your ``$PATH``. Updating nimble can then be done by
executing ``nimble install nimble``.
This assumes that you also used the source based installation and added
``$nim/bin`` to your ``PATH``. If you create a symlink to ``nim`` instead,
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, but the instructions
for doing so are a bit different on Windows.
Alternatively, you can also install Nimble from source.
