What do you mean by "correct location"? You could be interested by these tutorial videos: < https://guix.gnu.org/videos/> > Or if it's because the user of Guix on a foreign distribution needs to > setup more for the use case of adding channels to work, when running > only one version of guix on the system, then it would be missing > documentation.

Maybe you could send your comments on the mailing list and others will have better wordings than mine. :-) All the best, simon
