Thanks for your help. I have done this but still having problems. I can now run guix as root and install correctly. However, if I setup for a normal user as in the manual: cd /usr/local/bin ln -s /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix/bin/guix I still cannot make it work for that normal user. I made sure /usr/local/bin is in PATH. But the guix command is simply not found. Thanks for any help.
