Helpful Snippets

Update Nix (on a non-nixos machine)

sudo -i sh -c 'nix-channel --update && nix-env -iA nixpkgs.nix && systemctl daemon-reload'

Modify input device settings via Xorg.conf.d

• Tested on Debian
• Add files to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d

Setup pyenv

Requires pyenv and pyenv-virtualenv to be installed first.

# ensure these are up to date before proceeding
py2_version=2.7.18
py3_version=3.9.4

# install versions
# if you have compile errors make sure you have all the python compilation dependencies installed
pyenv install $py3_version
pyenv install $py2_version
pyenv global $py3_version $py2_version
pip install --upgrade pip
pip2 install --upgrade pip

pyenv virtualenv $py3_version py3nvim
pyenv activate py3nvim
pip install pynvim
pyenv virtualenv $py2_version py2nvim
pyenv activate py2nvim
pip install pynvim
