Correct. For the package manager all you need is =E2=80=9Cguix pull=E2=80= =9D and =E2=80=9Cguix upgrade=E2=80=9D (or =E2=80=9Cguix package -u=E2=80=9D or =E2=80=9Cguix pac= kage -m=E2=80=9D etc). The configuration file at /etc/config.scm is for an operating system declaration. The =E2=80=9Cguix system=E2=80=9D command deals with instance= s of Guix System, the GNU+Linux distribution. If you do not use Guix System you don=E2=80=99t have any system to reconfigure. You can still use =E2=80=9Cguix system=E2=80=9D to build virtual machines a= nd containers, but =E2=80=9Cguix system reconfigure=E2=80=9D is not useful on = a =E2=80=9Cforeign distribution=E2=80=9D. > Where is the relevant file for the guix package manager I installed? The behavior of =E2=80=9Cguix pull=E2=80=9D depends on an optional channels= file, either at /etc/guix/channels.scm or ~/.config/guix/channels.scm. If you don=E2=80= =99t have either of these files Guix will use sensible defaults. > 2. Do I regularly have to do a "sudo guix pull" for root? > > or is it enough that I did it once for setting up guix? If you actualy use Guix with the root user account then yes. For convenience you could link your user=E2=80=99s =E2=80=9Cguix=E2=80=9D s= o that it is the same for the root user; then you only need to take care of running =E2=80=9Cguix pull=E2=80=9D for your main user account. --=20 Ricardo
