Anki
Anki is a spaced repetition system (SRS) commonly used to learn new languages. Information is placed on individual flashcards, which are sorted into decks. Anki is extensible using Python addons.
In addition to the desktop software, Anki has an iOS app, Android app, and web interface available. Decks/flashcards can be synced using a self hosted instance of anki-sync-server
or an AnkiWeb account.
Installation
anki-bin
is recommended over anki
, due to anki
being out of date (at the time of writing). Using old versions of anki
may lead to decks being incompatible with newer versions.
- NixOs
environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.anki-bin ];
- nix-shell
$ nix-shell -p anki-bin
Installing Addons
Additional addons can be installed using the following syntax:
- NixOs
environment.systemPackages = [ (pkgs.anki.withAddons [ pkgs.ankiAddons.passfail2 ]) ];
Note that as of writing, anki-bin
does not support installing addons in this way.
Configuring Addons
Addons can be configured using .withConfig
:
- NixOs
environment.systemPackages = [ (pkgs.anki.withAddons [ (pkgs.ankiAddons.passfail2.withConfig { config = { again_button_name = "Incorrect"; good_button_name = "Correct"; }; }) ]) ];
