How to only install nerd fonts, when needed (alien.top)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

In my config, I have the followings line:

(nerd-icons-install-fonts)

How do I prevent this from happening multiple times? I just need it, when it is not installed.

just remove it and call the command once whenever you're setting up a new machine

You can install a nerd font in your OS and just use that for emacs

These types of install functions I add to a package-upgrade-all hook. Still redundant but only when you run package-upgrade-all which shouldn't be often

Can you share this code, please. Would it run, when you install emacs fresh?
