Hello Lisa, Welcome! Nice that you are interested in Guix.
Are you currently running Guix on your machine ? The easiest is to start with the package manager [1] using the shell script installer (first Red note in [1] :-)). The package manager works on any GNU/linux distribution and is not in conflict with the distro package manager. Do not hesitate to ask on help-g...@gnu.org or #guix if you hit any problem, the Guix folks are prompt for answering. :-) Once you can run "guix <command>" [2], you can read how to define a package [3]. BTW, give a look to the Perfect Setup [4] and here [5] my config files if you need inspiration. ;-) Well, if you have already used --- or currently using --- you can try "guix import" or "guix refresh"; i.e., write your first package contribution. Therefore, you need to read [6]. Again, do not hesitate to ask on help-g...@gnu.org or #guix if you hit any problem.
