10143 :: Can I download Nim on my iOS or Android device?

  Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well. I'm very interested in using Nim for mobile app development and was wondering if anyone could provide some guidance on this topic. Specifically, I'm curious to know if Nim is compatible with iOS or Android devices. Are there any mobile versions of Nim available, or Nim apps that can be downloaded onto iOS or Android devices? Additionally, are there any Nim mobile development tools available for use on iOS or Android? I'm particularly interested in whether it's possible to write and compile Nim code on mobile devices, or whether it's necessary to use a desktop environment for this purpose. Finally, I would greatly appreciate any resources or tips on how to get started with using Nim for mobile app development. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my post and offer any guidance or suggestions!

  You may use Termux , which is one of the ways mentioned in the documentation.

  To install Nim in Termux, just run

  
  apt update && apt install nim
  Run

  Also I recommend Acode as the code editor, because it's open-sourced and supports syntax highlighting for Nim.

  You might be interested in replit, which provides an online dev environment supporting Nim: https://replit.com/languages/nim

  I stumbled upon this the other day - since it's possible to make c programs run directly on Android, nim could do it too: https://github.com/cnlohr/rawdrawandroid

  Replit is stuck on version 1.4, but it's otherwise good.
