3545 :: nimble question

  I am familiar with how to use 'requires' to pull in a library that is in package manager. What if I have my own library that is on my filesystem, and I'm starting a new project and I want to use it, how do I use my nimble file to point at it?

  I think I have figured it out:

  use 'nimble install' on the library then you can just refer to it by name with 'requires'

  Run nimble develop in your library's directory, then simply add a requires in your new project for that library.

  what is the distinction between using nimble install, and nimble develop?

  This explains it well (I hope): https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble#nimble-develop
