I run mostly Debian and Debian derived systems. One week ago I installed Guix OS on a Thinkpad laptop. The install was smooth. Then I, as root, installed Emacs. Of course, my regular non-root user "jays", saw no Emacs. I then, by some command of symlinking, got Emacs visible to jays, indeed, the same executable of Emacs is now used by both root and jays. What is the standard way to install a Guix package so that all users on a single hardware box, can use the package? That is, I'd like an install procedure so that by means of the procedure, installation of a package is like, from one angle of view, just using apt on a Debian system. Again, thank you for Guix! oo--JS.
