nemo setup runs through Flox command mode in the same environment started by

💡 Result:
The flox activate command in Flox is used to activate a project environment. It supports several execution modes, including a command mode that allows you to run specific commands within an activated environment without launching an interactive shell [1]. The two primary ways to run commands in an activated environment are: 1. Shell Command Mode (-c): You can use the -c flag to execute a specific shell command string within a subshell started in the activated environment [1]. Example: flox activate -c "npm run build" The shell used to execute this command is determined by the $FLOX_SHELL environment variable, or it falls back to

site:flox.dev/docs/man/flox-activate "flox activate" subshell script no command
💡 Result:
When you run flox activate without providing a specific command (via the -c flag or the -- separator), it enters interactive mode [1]. In this mode, flox activate launches an interactive subshell configured with the environment's variables and packages [1]. The specific shell executable used for this subshell is determined by the FLOX_SHELL environment variable, or if that is not set, it defaults to the SHELL environment variable [1]. If you wish to behave differently, such as modifying the current shell in-place rather than spawning a new subshell, you can use the in-place mode by evaluating the output of the command in your current shell: eval "$(flox activate)" This method emits shell commands that configure your existing session instead of launching a new, nested shell process [1].

flox -q activate starts a separate shell. The separate nemo setup command is not guaranteed to use that environment. Use Flox command mode:
