atlas

The Atlas Package cloner. It manages an isolated workspace that contains projects and dependencies.

Installation

Upcoming Nim version 2.0 will ship with atlas. Building from source:

git clone https://github.com/nim-lang/atlas.git
cd atlas
nim c src/atlas.nim
# copy src/atlas[.exe] somewhere in your PATH

Tutorial

Create a new workspace. A workspace contains everything we need and can safely be deleted after this tutorial:

mkdir workspace
cd workspace
atlas init

Create a new project inside the workspace:

mkdir myproject
cd myproject

Tell Atlas we want to use the "malebolgia" library:

atlas use malebolgia

Now import malebolgia in your Nim code and run the compiler as usual:

echo "import malebolgia" >myproject.nim
nim c myproject.nim
