# We have 3 presets currently:
# default (official mirror), taobao, tsinghua
nn mirror taobao # Set mirror to taobaoOption 1: run nn upgrade. Only for macOS and Linux because Windows program seems can't delete itself while running.
Option 2: Go to Installation and run it again.
Just remove ~/.nn(macOS, Linux) or C:\Users\Your-User-Name\.nn(Windows)
nn is written in JavaScript. We use pkg to bundle all JS files to a binary, to make it zero dependencies.
The installation script just download the latest version from release, place it to ~/.nn(macOS, Linux) or C:\Users\Your-User-Name\.nn(Windows), then add it to PATH so users could access it in shell directly.
