    $ export PATH=$PATH:~/nim-0.17.0/bin
    

The problem might be the expansion of `~` in the default shell on some O/S. Try 
    
    
    $ export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/nim-0.17.0/bin
    

You could create an "Issue" in Nim's GitHub repo so this specific problem can 
be discussed there, separate from the SSoZ discussion here.
