We usually recommend to add a package we have an importer for. Anaconda could be a good candidate, if you wish to package it, and I guess we have a lot of unpackaged dependencies of anaconda. Note that you have to package all the dependencies to package something for guix. Packaging a single dependency would do for now. Please see https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Invoking-g= uix-import.html for more information about importers. (For example R packages from CRAN or bioconductor have a good quality importer) > Or should I proceed with creating video tutorials for the steps I did un= til now ? > Not yet, we should leave that for later, if it is possible. > Thanks, > Lakshmi Prasannakumar > Bangalore > > > On Thu, Oct 18, 2018 at 5:22 PM G=C3=A1bor Boskovits wrote: >> >> Hello Lakshmi, >> >> Bj=C3=B6rn H=C3=B6fling ezt =C3=ADrt= a (id=C5=91pont: >> 2018. okt. 18., Cs, 13:46): >> > >> > Hi Lakshmi, >> > >> > On Thu, 18 Oct 2018 14:52:30 +0530 >> > Lakshmi Prasannakumar wrote: >> > >> > > Hi G=C3=A1bor, >> > > >> > > I have followed the Binary-Installation procedures and installed the >> > > hello package to my root. >> > > The next step I understand is to add another package from the list i= n >> > > https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/packages/ >> > > I tried following this step to install a package from the list i.e. >> > > 4ti2 1.6.7 using the below commands: >> > > *guix package -i 4ti2 1.6.7* >> > > >> > > However, I got the error as : >> > > >> > > >> > > >> > > >> > > >> > > >> > > >> > > >> > > >> > > >> > > *guile: warning: failed to install localehint: Consider installing t= he >> > > `glibc-utf8-locales' or `glibc-locales' package anddefining >> > > `GUIX_LOCPATH', along these lines: guix package -i >> > > glibc-utf8-locales export >> > > GUIX_LOCPATH=3D"$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale"See the "Application >> > > Setup" section in the manual, for more info.* Is it due my incomplet= e >> > > GUIX installation or are there further steps to follow? >> > >> >> It is safe to ignore these warnings for now.
