Good Morning,

I'm interested in trying out nim on my fedora installation, but after running sudo dnf install nim like is suggested it seems like it's not available. Do I need to fetch this package from a specific repository?

Thanks for any help.

Imho the best nim deployment currently is through choosenim. There you can easily switch to other nim versions, upgrade or point to a self compiled version:

Thanks for your reply. That's what I'll go with then.

I run multiple different systems. I agree go with choosenim, I have built nim on all my systems also and its interesting but if you want something that's rock solid for any system on a desktop/laptop then use choosenim.
