Hi Clément,

The script should be run as root as it follows the manual’s
instructions, which tell people to install Guix for the root user and
then make it available system-wide.

This is why I think that it would be correct to install it to the root’s
home directory and not to the sudoing user’s HOME.

Or am I missing something?
