That's an option, but not strictly needed, because guix-install.sh
refers to the Guix manual.
It is clearly described in the installation manual ("Application
Setup"). As long as I have not set up at least a dozen of clean user
profiles, I don't know it by heart so I'll try to remember to go
through this section.
Maybe there should be a link to "Application Setup" from the "After
System Installation" section. Not that I read that section, but at
least everyone should've come across "Application Setup", no matter they
installed the tarball or Guix System.
