9065 :: Choosing the nim installation folder used by choosenim

  Is there a way to choose the nim installation folder as well as the storage folder that choosenim uses? My company laptop is pretty locked down but we have a "special" folder in which we can basically install / copy anything we want (and in which the antivirus software that we cannot configure is more "lenient") so it would be great to tell choosenim to put all its files in that folder.

  According to choosenim --help:

  
    --choosenimDir:<dir>  Specify the directory where toolchains should be
                          installed. Default: ~/.choosenim.
    --nimbleDir:<dir>     Specify the Nimble directory where binaries will be
                          placed. Default: ~/.nimble.
  Run

  Thanks a lot PMunch. I went through the choosenim readme on github but I missed those 2 options.
