Requirements

The following requirements needs to be installed before you install NimHA.

Nim requirements

• nim >= 0.18.1
• (nim) bcrypt >= 0.2.1
• (nim) jester >= 0.4.0
• (nim) multicast >= 0.1.1
• (nim) recaptcha >= 1.0.2
• (nim) websocket >= 0.3.1

Third party requirements

The requirements below are used within NimHA until they can be replaced with pure Nim. Make sure they are installed on your system.

• curl (Pushbullet)
• mosquitto (nearly all modules)
• openssl (ssl)
• python3 (encrypting token for Xiaomi)
• pycrypto (encrypting token for Xiaomi)

Install Nim

The official instructions can be found here https://nim-lang.org/install.html

Choosenim

Installing with choosenim is very easy. Just run:

curl https://nim-lang.org/choosenim/init.sh -sSf | sh
choosenim devel

Raspberry Pi

Choosenim does currently (2018 August) not support amd. You need to follow the instructions on https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim#compiling. After compiling Nim symlink your executable:

ln -sf /the/path/to/nim/git/Nim/bin/nim /usr/bin/nim
ln -sf /the/path/to/nim/git/Nim/bin/nimble /usr/bin/nimble

Install Nim packages

The Nim packages can all be installed with Nimble.

Run the following commands:

nimble install bcrypt
nimble install jester
nimble install multicast
nimble install recaptcha
nimble install websocket

Install Third party packages

Adjust the commands to your package manager.

sudo pacman -S curl
sudo pacman -S mosquitto
sudo pacman -S openssl
sudo pacman -S python3

The last package can be installed via pip or by yourself:

git clone https://github.com/dlitz/pycrypto.git
python3 setup.py build
python3 setup.py install
