Installation error about taskopen HOT 7 CLOSED

Unfortunately, your version does not support passing environment variables to execCmdEx. This feature has been introduced with nim version 1.4.

There are pre-built binaries available that you may try. Alternatively, you may try choosenim or using a docker container. See https://nim-lang.org/install_unix.html

@folofjc Could you please tell me your nim version (nim -v)?

I installed from sudo apt install nim, so this is probably the newest on Ubuntu 20.04

Okay, thanks. Could you update the README to specify this? Right now all it says is that nim is required, not that a certain version is required.

Okay, I got past that error. When I try to do sudo make PREFIX=/usr install, I get an error that I need pandoc. Could you also add that to the dependencies in the README?

pandoc is only required for updating the man pages. Normally, this is done by me but it can happen that timestamps change so that make tries to rebuilt the man pages. I am going to remove the pandoc dependency from the install target. In the meantime, you can remove the $(MANFILES) target from Makefile instead of installing pandoc.

Got it, thanks!
