Detailing installation instructions #1

Closed ThomasTJdev closed 6 years ago

When using the wrapper after nimble install nimlibxlsxwriter, I got the error: Error: cannot open 'xlsxwriter'

I had to look into the nimble packages to figure out, I needed to run: nimble install nimlibxlsxwriter nimble setup nimlibxlsxwriter

To ease the installation for other users, you could:

  1. Add this information to the README.md
  2. Autorun the setup

What does setupTask() in the .nimble? I did not execute.

before install:
    setupTask()

There's an issue with nimble where the before install task does not run. I have a PR in place but it's awaiting a review.

In the meantime, you can:

git clone https://github.com/KeepCoolWithCoolidge/nimlibxlsxwriter
cd nimlibxlsxwriter
nimble install -y

Please note the thread to fix this in 0.19.0.

You need to use after install and before uninstall going forward due to changes in how nimble works.
