Package Manager

Install libraries with nm

nm ships with NIAO. Install the standard library, add optional modules, and manage project dependencies. Browse full module docs on Docs → Libraries.

1

Get NIAO

4

Install optional modules as needed

Quick start

Run these commands in a new terminal after installing NIAO.

  1. Install the NIAO toolchain

    Pick your platform in the Download section and run the installer. Windows bundles standard libraries; Linux and macOS need step 3.

  2. Verify nm is available

    You should see version info for nm and the toolchain.

    nm version
  3. Install the standard library

    Downloads core modules to ~/.niao. Skip on Windows if you used the full installer.

    nm install --global
  4. Install optional packages

    Add ML, database, or other modules as your project needs. Pin a version with @ if needed.

Command reference

Common nm commands. Aliases: i, ls, rm, up.

Where libraries live

Global installs go to ~/.niao/niao_libs. Project-scoped packages use .niao/ in your project folder. Run nm home to print the exact path.

Offline & custom mirrors

Use nm install --registry <url> or set NIAO_REGISTRY when you need a private mirror or air-gapped setup.

Browse modules and full documentation on the main NIAO website.
