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 <server> -if

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 the target system.

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.
