It appears you were still within the guix shell spawned with the first
command when you tried to run `make authenticate`. Guix was not
available inside that shell.

You should `exit` from the running bash session and then run `make
authenticate`. Afterwards you can enter the development shell once
again with `guix shell -D guix --pure`.

Or, you can instead try adding guix to the shell you're spawning, with

    guix shell -D guix guix --pure

I think this will work but haven't checked myself
