This issue was addressed to Xonsh team in 3367

How it works?

When you run xxh server command:

If it needed xxh script will download xonsh.AppImage. This is portable version of xonsh. URL you can find in xxh.xsh
If it needed xxh script copies the portable xonsh on the host (~/.xxh by default) along with init scripts and plugins.
Finally xxh makes ssh connection to server and running remote portable xonsh shell without any affection on of system.
