Further down this page you'll find the instructions to prepare everything you need for our presentation.
Additionally, we encourage you to browse our Learning folder, if you want to read more about what we prepared.

This guide is aimed at Unix users, if you have another OS refer to the Nim official website (https://nim-lang.org/install.html)

For this presentation you will need three things:

1. Nim Compiler
2. C Compiler
3. Text Editor

The easiest way of installing Nim is using the choosenim tool.

You can install it by running the following commands:

$ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
$ sudo apt install curl
$ curl https://nim-lang.org/choosenim/init.sh -sSf | sh

After installing choosenim, you must add it to your PATH and source your shell profile again:

$ echo '#Nim\nPATH=$HOME/.nimble/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
$ source ~/.bashrc

You will need a C compiler to compile the Nim code. We recommend using gcc, but any compiler should work. You can install it by running the following command:

$ sudo apt install gcc

Use whatever you prefer, we will be using VSCode with the Nim plugin.

After adding Nim to your PATH, confirm it's working. If you get an error, try restarting your terminal

To verify that Nim is installed, run the following command in your terminal

$ nim --version
