+### Compile with `nim` after changing the nimble directory
+
+The Nim compiler has been preconfigured to look at the default nimble directory while compiling,
+so no extra step is required to use nimble managed packages in your code. 
+However, if you are using a custom `nimbleDir`, you need to specify the 
+`--nimblePath:PATH` option. For example,
+if your `nimble` directory is located at `/some/custom/path/nimble`, this should work:
+
+```
+nim c --nimblePath:/some/custom/path/nimble/pkgs main.nim
+``` 
+
+Some code editors rely on `nim check` to check for errors under the hood (e.g. VScode), 
+and the editor extension may not allow users to pass custom option to `nim check`, which
+will cause `nim check` to scream `Error: cannot open file:<the_package>`. In this case,
+you will have to use [Nim compiler's configuration files](https://nim-lang.org/docs/nimc.html#compiler-usage-configuration-files). Simply add the line:
+```
+nimblePath = "/some/custom/path/nimble/pkgs"
+```
+to the `nim.cfg` located in any directory listed in the [documentation](https://nim-lang.org/docs/nimc.html#compiler-usage-configuration-files), this should resolve the problem.
