Hi Wojtek, thanks very much. With your help I managed to create the Emacs Profile. I had to add still a name: "guix-profile" for it, than it worked. gfp@Tuxedo ~$ gfp@Tuxedo ~$ guix package -p /home/gfp/Projekte/EmacsManifest/guix-profil -m /home/gfp/Projekte/EmacsManifest/emacs.scm ----------------------------------------------------------------------- If I do a: gfp@Tuxedo ~$ guix shell -p /home/gfp/Projekte/EmacsManifest/guix-profil than I am in the profile: gfp@Tuxedo ~ (env) $ but writing: "emacs" it opens my emacs in the main profile and not the emacs in this newly created profile. Which command do I have to use to open emacs in this profile? Kind regards Gottfried > When you do > > guix package -m path/to/manifest.scm > > It shall *replace* the packages in your default profile > (~/.guix-profile) with those specified by the manifest. > > But if you instead do > > guix package -p path/to/some/profile -m path/to/manifest.scm > > It shall modify/initialize the profile you specified :) > > Best, > Wojtek
