  You need to sudo apt remove nim and follow choosenim's instructions:

  You must now ensure that the Nimble bin dir is in your PATH.

  Place the following line in the ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc file.

  export PATH=/home/mohammed/.nimble/bin:$PATH

  P.S. I modified your post so that it's formatted correctly. Click the "Edit" button to see the formatting and learn how to do it correctly for next time :)

  @MoKhaild123 I'll try to get the official package in Ubuntu updated. In the meantime you can pull the package from Debian (it's the source used by Ubuntu): https://packages.debian.org/sid/nim
