Hi all,
I am new with Guix and I am currently trying to install it as a root on a VM. 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 ?
Many thanks !
Regards,
Lory
