5788 :: How to manage local dependencies with nimble?

• Xahon (orginal) [2020-01-10T09:57:58+01:00] view original

  I didn't found any related info in the internet. I used to use npm i some_package and my package gets saved into packages.json and installed in local project directory in node.js. I don't understand how to make such thing with nimble. I used nimble init and it gave me similar to node.js-like project layout but I don't understand how do I reinstall all the needed deps on another computer even using manual typing dependencies strings in .nimble file.

  Another question: how to specify specific version of package, e.g. opengl 1.2.3 in nimble file?

  dependencies get installed automatically when building/installing the package. https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble#dependencies

  Or even when compiling - just use nimble c in place of nim c and so on. Even better, write a nimble task and call that
