Hi Gábor, I have followed the Binary-Installation procedures and installed the hello package to my root. The next step I understand is to add another package from the list in https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/packages/ I tried following this step to install a package from the list i.e. 4ti2 1.6.7 using the below commands: *guix package -i 4ti2 1.6.7*
However, I got the error as : *guile: warning: failed to install localehint: Consider installing the `glibc-utf8-locales' or `glibc-locales' package anddefining `GUIX_LOCPATH', along these lines: guix package -i glibc-utf8-locales export GUIX_LOCPATH="$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale"See the "Application Setup" section in the manual, for more info.* Is it due my incomplete GUIX installation or are there further steps to follow?
