nimble: Install a Nimble package.
$ nimble install
try on your machine

The command "nimble install" is used in the Nim programming language to install packages or libraries. Nimble is a package manager and build system for Nim, similar to pip for Python or npm for Node.js.

When you run the "nimble install" command, it connects to the official Nimble package registry and downloads the specified package along with its dependencies. It will also build and compile the package if necessary.

Here's an example of how you would use it:

nimble install package_name

You replace "package_name" with the name of the package you want to install. This will search for the package in the Nimble registry and download it onto your machine.

After installation, you can import and use the package in your Nim programs.

Overall, "nimble install" simplifies the process of adding external functionality to your Nim projects by managing package dependencies and automating the installation process.
