fx is a command-line tool that helps you to visualize and manipulate JSON data in the terminal. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of installing fx on nixOS Latest using the command-line interface.
Before we begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
Open up a terminal window on your nixOS Latest operating system.
If you do not have git installed, you can do so by running the following command:
sudo nix-env -iA nixpkgs.git
Clone the fx repository by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/metrue/fx.git
To install fx, run the following command:
cd fx
nix-build
Once the installation is complete, you can test if fx is working by running the following command:
./result/bin/fx
You should see fx's help output.
In order to use fx without specifying the full path to the binary, we need to add it to our PATH variable. You can do this by adding the following line to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc:
export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/fx/
Replace /path/to/fx/ with the path to the directory containing the fx binary.
Congratulations, you have now installed fx on nixOS Latest! You should now be able to use fx to visualize and manipulate JSON data in the terminal.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
