Hello Guix,
I'm trying to get the Nix package manager running on Guix. I followed the instructions at: <https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Miscellaneous-Services.html> and successfully installed it, but trying to install and/or run any Nix applications gives me permission errors.
I installed for the 'guix-system'; should I have installed for 'guix-user'? Or do I need to add my user to some Nix-related group? Or have I done something else wrong?
best,
—Ben

I have nix-service running when I build my guix system and then I just run the following:
nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable
nix-channel --update

Thanks, Petr. I did add and update channels. I wonder if it's something simple, like needing to restart the system after installing Nix? I'll try again.

Reinstalling Nix seemed to work for whatever reason and I don't seem to have the permissions errors this time trying to install or run Nix packages.
But I have to run `source /run/current-system/profile/etc/profile.d/nix.sh' from a terminal every time to get Nix packages in my PATH. Is there a better way of doing this? Setting the PATH somewhere or running `/run/current-system/profile/etc/profile.d/nix.sh' from .profile or something?

Yes, you can configure the ’source’ in your config files. It depends on
what you want (login shell vs interactive shell, etc.), and as rough
rule of thumb, the source could be set in:
/etc/profile
~/.profile
~/.bash_profile
~/.bashrc
Cheers,
