I am not sure to understand your question.  I am guessing… :-)

Once you are in:

   guix package -p $GUIX_ENVIRONMENT -I

but this is no robust and for example it does not when the environment
is created with --container or --pure; because ’guix’ does not exist by
default.

Otherwise, give a look at the optioj --root.

All the best,
