+```sh
+nix-shell -p cairo gdk-pixbuf glslang hwdata json_c lcms libGL mesa libcap libdisplay-info libdrm libevdev libinput libliftoff libxkbcommon meson ninja pango pcre2 pixman pkg-config scdoc seatd tree vulkan-loader wayland wayland-protocols wayland-scanner xorg.xcbutilerrors xorg.xcbutilrenderutil xorg.xcbutilwm xwayland -I nixpkgs=http://channels.nixos.org/nixpkgs-unstable/nixexprs.tar.xz --command "export NIX_HARDENING_ENABLE=; return"
