Important Notes

Please refrain from calling commands too quickly or frequently, as it may result in you being rate-limited.

Installation

You can just download the installer from the most recent version, or from winget by running:

winget install Jasmine.Nova

For linux, download installer.sh and run

sudo sh installer.sh

Deletion

1. Delete Nova from whatever directory you put it in (or delete the directory itself).

   • Or, if you installed with the Windows installer, open Settings, go to Apps, then search for "Nova". When you see Nova, click the three dots and hit "Uninstall."

Documentation

See https://neroist.github.io/nova

Build from source

Requirements

• Nim >= 1.6.8
• Mingw installed from MSYS2 MSYS (only needed if you want to build windows installer)
• Inno Setup (again, only needed for windows installer)

Build

Nova

In order to build, cd into the base directory and run:

nimble nova

If you want to build nova for 32 bit, run this instead:

nimble -d:nova32 nova

On Linux, this may require the gcc-multilib and libcurl4:i386 packages.

Installer

Next, to build the installer, run this command:

nimble installer

On windows, this compiles the installer/installer.iss file. On Linux, this just copies the install.sh file to bin/.

The compiled binaries will be available in the bin/ directory.
