Nim includes an install.sh script.  It worked for me.

According to the Nim docs ( http://nim-lang.org/download.html ) "There
are other ways to install Nim (like using the install.sh script), but
these tend to cause more problems."  I am not sure what these
unspecified problems are.  I used Nim only briefly, so perhaps there
problems are lurking and I just did not encounter them.
