xonsh> aliases['xxh'] = 'xonsh ~/.xxh/xxh.xsh'
xonsh> xxh server
```

The xxh xonsh will use pip and python from `xonsh.AppImage` by default.
You can install pip packages ordinally with `pip install`. They will appear in `$XXH_HOME/pip`.

This issue was addressed to Xonsh team in [3367](https://github.com/xonsh/xonsh/issues/3367)
## How it works?
When you run `xxh server` command:
1. If it needed xxh script will download `xonsh.AppImage`. This is portable version of xonsh. URL you can find in `xxh.xsh`
2. If it needed xxh script copies the portable xonsh on the host (`~/.xxh` by default) along with init scripts and plugins.
3. Finally xxh makes ssh connection to server and running remote portable xonsh shell without any affection on of system.
