Install Mise by appending `env.nu` and `config.nu`:
Install Mise by activating it into the autoload dir:

```nushell
'
let mise_path = $nu.default-config-dir | path join mise.nu
^mise activate nu | save $mise_path --force
' | save $nu.env-path --append
"\nuse ($nu.default-config-dir | path join mise.nu)" | save $nu.config-path --append
'^mise activate nu | save --force ($nu.data-dir | path join vendor autoload mise.nu)' | save $nu.config-path --append

@jdx note that this fails if .local/share/nushell/vendor/autoload doesn't already exist (it probably doesn't by default; it wasn't created automatically for me).

Suggested change
'^mise activate nu | save --force ($nu.data-dir | path join vendor autoload mise.nu)' | save $nu.config-path --append
mkdir ($nu.data-dir | path join vendor autoload mise.nu)
'^mise activate nu | save --force ($nu.data-dir | path join vendor autoload mise.nu)' | save $nu.config-path --append

```
