This is my nix flake for using the Furhat SDK on NixOS with the i3 window manager.

I enabled my NVIDIA on NixOS 22.05 and the electron app doesn't start anymore.

See README.old.md if problems persist. However, the nixGL variants might work now.

Download the SDK-desktop-launcher app image from furhat.io and move it into ./SDK/

console $ nix run github:renerocksai/furhat.nixos

If on a ChromeBook or when having graphics card problems, try the nixGL version:

console $ nix run --impure github:renerocksai/furhat.nixos#furhat-nixgl

The first time, you will be prompted to install the actual SDK. Enter your SDK key and continue. This will install everything into ~/.furhat/

JAVA_HOME:

Maybe, as indicated by the installer, ~/.furhat/launcher/JDK should be used as JAVA_HOME.

However, I am not sure whether that is absolutely necessary, as the standalone SDK does not require it.

So, for now, I leave JAVA_HOME untouched. It defaults to NixOS's system-wide JDK8 one or is set by jdk8 of the flake.

Needs a different JDK (JDK11) and GTK3 input dialogs seem to only work with schamas, etc.

Downloads automatically, invoke with

console $ nix run github:renerocksai/furhat.nixos#gesture-capture

NOTE: If download fails, update the URL and zip file name from the docs.
