This action sets up a Nim-lang👑 environment.
setup-nim-action has released v2 ( jiro4989#491 ).
setup-nim-action v1 depended on choosenim.
One day, an issue occurred that installation became very slow with choosenim ( jiro4989#483 ).
This process took between 6 and 20 minutes.
I changed setup-nim-action so that is does not use choosenim to solve this problem.
- Upgrade version of
setup-nim-actiontov2fromv1 - Change cache key to clear cache if you are using it.
The key can be anything if the cache will be cleared.
Nothing to do if you are not using
actions/cache - Remove caching
choosenimif you are using it.setup-nim-actiondoes not use choosenim now. Nothing to do if you are not cachingchoosenim - Remove
yesandno-colorparameters if you are using it. These parameters are not used now. Nothing to do if you are not these parameters

- run: nimble build -Ysetup-nim-action installs Nim to .nim_runtime directory of current directory.
You can use parent-nim-install-directory and nim-install-directory parameters if you want to change it.
Use parent-nim-install-directory if you want to install nim to temporary directory.
This example installs nim to /home/runner/work/_temp/.nim_runtime.
