What do you mean by "install packages not from Guix repository"?

If you mean packages not packaged in Guix, give a look to Channels [1].
If you mean install binaries not coming from the Guix build farm, you can
turn off the substitutes and re-compile everything yourself (then
challenge). See [2] and [3].

[2] https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Substitutes.html#Substitutes
[3]

Hope that helps.

All the best,
simon
