8240 :: Which macOS installation method for Nim?

• DeletedUser (orginal) [2021-07-18T02:55:38+02:00] view original

  I've been using the Homebrew installation of Nim on macOS (M1, 11.4 Big Sur). I don't think it installs testament so I've started looking for alternate installation methods. Are there macOS installations beyond the options below?

  • Choosenim (https://github.com/dom96/choosenim)
  • Manual install and build from Github sources

  TIA,

  Stu

  Update: maybe not choosenim as M1 macOS is not supported by the curl something | sh installer or the unofficial packaged choosenim installer.

  And for completeness: download and build from source works well for M1 macOS, following the hints in https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/16211.

  
  git clone https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim
  cd Nim
  git clone -q --depth 1 https://github.com/nim-lang/csources_v1.git csources
  ./build_all.sh
  Run

  git clone -q --depth 1 https://github.com/nim-lang/csources_v1.git csources

  this step is un-necessary (and not even used, since we now use csources_v1). instead, follow docs (https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim):

  git clone https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim
  cd Nim
  sh build_all.sh
  Run
