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.
How it works?
When you run xxh <host> command:
-
If it needed xxh will download portable xonsh shell and store locally to future use.
-
If it needed xxh upload the portable xonsh to the host (
~/.xxhby default) along with init scripts and plugins. -
Finally xxh will makes ssh connection to the server and run portable xonsh shell without any addition installatio and affection on the target host.
Development
Use xxh-tests environment for development and contribution.
Known Issues
GLIBs versions
Current method to make xonsh portable is using an AppImage which was built on manylinux2010 (PEP 571). 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.
WSL1: ^Z
# xxh YT-1300
^Z
Unknown answer from server when checking direcotry /home/hansolo/.xxh:
This issue was addressed to Xonsh team in 3367. Just try to run command again.
WSL2 is not tested yet.
