Nimble Installation

Nimble requires docker-compose, you can install the latest version from: https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/

user@host:~$ sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.28.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
user@host:~$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

A valid license is required to run nimble. If you would like to request a trial license, visit https://megh.com/

Update the docker-compose*.yaml files to set the LSHOST environment variable to the machine running the license manager.
