## Notes
### Using pip and python
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`.
### Shortcut to reinstall xxh on host
```
xxh -if
```
## How it works?
When you run `xxh ` 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 the target system.

## Known Issues
### GLIBs versions
Current method to make xonsh portable is using an [AppImage](https://appimage.org/) which was built on [manylinux2010 (PEP 571)](https://github.com/niess/linuxdeploy-plugin-python/issues/12). In case you see the error like ``/xonsh-x86_64.AppImage: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version GLIBC_2.25 not found (required by /ppp/xonsh-x86_64.AppImage)`` this means you should rebuild the AppImage for older version of linux distributive. Try [linuxdeploy-plugin-python](https://github.com/niess/linuxdeploy-plugin-python/).

This issue was addressed to Xonsh team in [3367](https://github.com/xonsh/xonsh/issues/3367). Just try to run command again.
WSL2 is not tested yet.
