guix

I followed the instructions at to install Guix on Trisquel 11 Mini, but `guix pull` always seems to have a lot to do, i.e. I never get the "nothing to be done" message. When I try to `guix install` something, I get the warning `guix install: warning: Consider running 'guix pull' followed by 'guix package -u' to get up-to-date packages and security updates.` and the package that will be installed is an old one. When I try to run `guix describe` I get an error that says:

hint: Perhaps this `guix' command was not obtained with `guix pull'? Its version string is 1.3.0.

I have a guess for what the problem is: `guix` is running the version provided by apt and not the one provided by guix. I have a hint when running `guix pull` that says:

hint: After setting `PATH', run `hash guix' to make sure your shell refers to `/home/user/.config/guix/current/bin/guix'.

I see that `guix` points to /usr/bin/guix and not /home/user/.config/guix/current/bin/guix , so that makes me think the instructions at are incomplete. Should there also be a command to add that path to the HOME variable in .profile ? Is there anything else that should be added as well?

Has anyone installed guix from apt and gotten it working well? Did you follow the wiki or what did you do differently?
