AWESOME!
The new download table is super nice, many people asked for arm linux downloads. Thank you!
One minor note: the pre-built binary tarball, at least for Linux x86_64, has a slightly older version of nimble - v0.20.1. Latest is v0.22.1.
So you may want to update nimble after installing this nim patch.
Try these prebuilt packages:
Fedora
dnf -y copr enable planetis/nim
dnf -y install nim
Ubuntu
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:planetis/nim
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nim One minor note: the pre-built binary tarball, at least for Linux x86_64, has a slightly older version of nimble - v0.20.1. Latest is v0.22.1
The shipping of the older Nimble version was done on purpose, as we had some problems with Nimble v0.22.x.
But, as you said, you can update Nimble manually. Both now and generally, whenever there is a new Nimble release. You don't need to wait for a new Nim release to update Nimble.
