Error when running nimble install nimlsp

[mirageglobe]

I have a basic install of nim and encountered the following when installing nimlsp. Wonder if there are any prerequisites before setting up this lsp? thanks

  ... Could not read package info file in /tmp/nimble_3317/githubcom_PMunchnimlsp/nimlsp.nimble;
        ...   Reading as ini file failed with:
        ...     Invalid section: .
        ...   Evaluating as NimScript file failed with:
        ...     Error: cannot open '/Users/xxxxxx/.nimble/lib/system.nim'.

It seems like you may not have installed Nim the way NimLSP expects. The README contains a section on what to do in this case

Perfect! thanks for note and tip :D. Realised that by default, choosenimble selects 0.16. Need to run choosenimble stable first and it will run fine. Thanks!

I think you might have a very old version of choosenim then, it should select the latest stable release by default.. Try to run choosenim update self and see if you can't get a newer version.

Yeah it's a weird one. Only just installed Nim and it defaulted to 0.16. did not have Nim before this. I used Choosenim. Hmm

Where did you get choosenim from? And what does choosenim --version show?

[mirageglobe]

I installed Choosenim through install script from nim-lang.org.

Choosenim version is 0.8.2.
