Hi Reshu,

> I am trying to install GUIX for ubuntu using sh script. I have named the
> script "guix-install.sh".I created the sh file in nano and ran using bash

You need to run the script as the root user.  It seems to not like to
run with sudo, so you would need to do =E2=80=9Csudo su -=E2=80=9D first to=
 switch to
the root account.

(I=E2=80=99m not sure if the root account is usable on Ubuntu.)

If the script doesn=E2=80=99t work for you, I=E2=80=99m afraid you=E2=80=99=
d have to follow the
installation steps manually.  As Konrad explained, the procedure is
described in the manual at

      https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/guix.html#Binary-Installatio=
n

The script merely tries to automate these steps.

Sorry for the bumpy ride!
