Installation issues

[willcrutchley]

Not sure why, but I had to manually add nimgen and c2nim to my path after installing them with nimble in order to install nimlibxlsxwriter.
Maybe this is a nimble issue?
But I thought it could help to have this as a tip in the installation instructions in case anyone else has this problem too.
Thanks.

For me I just had to nimble install nimgen first.

I have installed nimgen and i have cloned and sudo make install libxlsxwriter the original project but i still get this error.
Is there something i am missing ?

Hi @C-NERD
Maybe my fork will work for you: https://github.com/ThomasTJdev/nimlibxlsxwriter

1. Ensure that you have latest version of nimgen: https://github.com/genotrance/nimgen
2. Now use the current master of my fork (uses nimgen).
   or
3. Use my PR Prepped ThomasTJdev/nimlibxlsxwriter#5 which has compiled nim-files. It avoids the use of nimgen.
