Hi,

Andreas Enge <andreas@enge.fr> skribis:

Yes.  Currently =E2=80=98guix-package=E2=80=99 expects the default profile =
to be under
/nix/var/nix/profiles/guix, which typically doesn=E2=80=99t exist, hence the
failure.

Be warned that =E2=80=98guix-package=E2=80=99 is rough on the edges and nee=
ds love
before we can make a first alpha release.  I=E2=80=99ll look into it ASAP.

Anyway, what does work is something like:

  $ guix-package --profile=3D$HOME/.guix-profile --install=3Dhello

No.

Yes.

Thanks!
