Alternately, there=E2=80=99s a really easy way: grab the binary tarball and
follow the steps at <http://www.gnu.org/software/guix/download/> (make
sure to check the ownership of /var and /root after unpacking it; the
extracting the current tarball will incorrectly change the owner.)

  git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/guix.git

  guix environment guix
  autoreconf && ./configure --localstatedir=3D/var \
    --with-libgcrypt-prefix=3D/gnu/store/... && make
