Most immediately, I think you can just use 'guix install gs'. A list of installed packages may be available via guix package --list-installed' The functional way, however, is to "declare" your packages in a file. For system packages, that's the system configuration. The same idea works for your personal packages; i's called a "home" configuration. Here, the word "home" refers to your home folder. > What are the commands to find out where I installed a package? The only way I know is `which gs` and then follow the symbolic links. Kind regards Felix P.S. The symbolic links make Guix special among Linux distributions. If you understand how they work, you are a Guix expert! P.P.S. Use "C-h R" in Emacs and use 'i' to search in the 'guix' manual. It helps to have Vertico installed, or something comparable.
