@Björn and @Gábor

Thanks a lot. It did work fine.

Now as the next step I assume, I have to add a new package.  I can see from
there are lot many packages listed in the
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/packages/ in alphabetic order. So should
I find a new package and add it?

If it is to add a new package, I see the Anaconda Package missing there.
And may be I could add that in the format mentioned in 4.1 defining package
, is that correct?

 Or should I proceed with creating video tutorials for the steps I did
until now ?

Thanks,
Lakshmi Prasannakumar
