= Hi,

I am having trouble installing guix on nixos. = I have specified the build users and the guix daemon isystemd service in my= configuration.nix file and all works.

I am t= hen following the binary installation instructions. As root I then try to t= est by running

guix package -i hello

However rather than install the small hello package, guix = is installing a large number of dependencies such as gcc etc. It is taking = a long time. IS this normal ?

I am also havin= g trouble setting up the environme for running guix as non-root user. =C2= =A0
This is = on a laptop.
on debian i do this.
= =C2=A0sudo chown guy: /var/guix/profiles/per-user/guy
or=C2=A0
sudo chown -r guy: /var/guix/profiles/per-user/guy
replace guy by your user name

Is this the right mailing list to ask for he= lp ?

Thanks
Roy.
