Installation script fails on Nix

Open meowgorithm opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Just a heads up that the installation script doesn't work with systems managed by Nix because configuration files (like .bashrc) are immutable. This would includes users using home-manager on macOS.

The easiest solve for this would probably be to just include some manual installation instructions. The more Nix-friendly solution would probably be to provide a Nix flake. And, of course, the ideal solution would be probably be to add the package to nixpkgs itself.

Thanks for the issue! I'll take a look at this point at some point, but I have to admit that I suspect this will be somewhat difficult to support since hishtory is pretty opinionated on installation/update. If anyone else runs into this, please add a +1 to this issue.
