that's why the help liist exists, no bother :-) Sounds like your daemon is not running Wold you mind to paste the otput of ps -e | grep guix In case it's not running, thhere's an excerpt in the manual about how to make it run It's the step no. 5 in the "Binaty Installation" chapter It's strange that your daemon is not running Maybe you used the experimental script in order to install your guix ? Anyway, paste te output of that line, then we'll see how to procede Hope this hepls ! Ciao :-) > -- > Thank you in advance. -Muto > https://muto.ca/ > >
