I followed the steps described in the Guix manual (https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Binary-Installation.html). After the installation, I tried guix as a user (not root). I tried to install a simple package such as zlib but I had the following error message : > user with UID 120300 not found > guix install: error: while creating directory `/var/guix/profiles/per-user/evanol': Permission denied > hint: Please create the `/var/guix/profiles/per-user/evanol' directory, with you as the owner. > > Do you have an idea how I could solve this problem ? It should have "Just worked" based on the instructions you followed. Does the /var/guix directory exist? What are its permissions? Also, did you try the hint?
