Re: Installing guix on nixos system

[Roy Lemmon <roy@roylemmon.com>]

Hi All,

I have followed the instructions in that link and successfully installed
the build users and guix daemon on my nixos system. As root, I can run

guix package -i hello

and the hello package is installed and I can run it.

However I am having trouble setting up the environment for running guix as
a user (I am on my laptop, so there is only one user). guix is of course
not recognised as a command when I am the user. I can run it as
/usr/local/bin/guix so that is ok and I could put that in my PATH. But is
that all I need to do ? I am not sure where the guix packages are installed
as a user rather than root.

Thanks
Roy.
