I don't know how to install this. What I did:

  • clone the repository on my computer
  • copy the files on my remarkable with scp in a folder called pkgs
  • in the folder pkgs/nix-remarkable use the command nix build which returned
    -sh: nix command not found.

What did I do wrong?

Hi @ZacharieALES,

This repository isn't meant to be used on the reMarkable itself---it's used for cross-compiling software for the rM. To use it, you'll need an x86_64 host system (the binary reMarkable toolchain requires it) with the Nix package manager installed.

If you just want to use the VNC server that's the main thing this builds right now, you can download a pre-built kernel module and VNC server executable from the releases pages of the relevant repositories. There are usage instructions for those in the vnc server repository and the kernel module repository.

would be nice to enable wiki so that the community can fill the gap. Once you've compiled the package on your computer, how do you transfer it to the tablet ? are these static executables so you just transfer the binary ?
