Create a project

Create a folder for your project and enter it. Inside the project folder, issue the command

$ nimble init

You'll get several questions. You must decide the type of your project: is it a library or a binary project?

If you chose binary, then you will get a .nimble file and a basic source code inside the src/ folder:

$ tree
.
├── send.nimble
└── src
    └── send.nim

Simple template

If you don't want to use "nimble init", then here is a basic template. Create a project folder and put these two files in it.

$ tree
.
├── main.nim
└── main.nimble

main.nim :

#!/usr/bin/env nimbang
#off:nimbang-args c -d:release
#nimbang-settings hideDebugInfo

echo "hello"

main.nimble :

# Package

version       = "0.1.0"
author        = "..."
description   = "..."
license       = "MIT"
# srcDir        = "src"
# bin           = @["basic"]


# Dependencies

requires "nim >= 2.2.0"
