Getting Started
Note
Make sure the project you want to build uses NimScript package file format. INI format is deprecated and not supported by nimbus.
Setup
bash
cd my-nim-project mkdir build && cd build nimbus ..
This command will create a ninja.build file in the build directory.
nimbus.1 manual

All the following commands need to be called from the build directory.
Compile
bash
ninja
This command will build all project binaries, if any. If there are multiple, you can choose which to build:
bash
ninja myprog
Run tasks
A ninja target is created for every Nimble task. You can run them on request:
bash
ninja scss
Run tests
bash
ninja test
This command will run "test" task (if defined). Otherwise, it will
compile and run all Nim files in the tests directory beginning with "t" in their
filename.
This behavior is compatible with Nimble.
Install
bash
DESTDIR=/tmp/prefix ninja install
This command will install the package (both sources and binaries)
into /tmp/prefix.
