I think you are looking for "which". This shows you which program would be executed depending on your $PATH variable, and assuming that the Guix directories are at the front of it, the Guix program will be preferred. Like so: $ which calibre /home/andreas/.guix-profile/bin/calibre This is actually the common pattern; you can expect the full path to be $HOME/.guix-profile/bin/name-of-the-binary Using this would follow updates of your user profile. If you want to know the real binary behind the scenes, you could use $ readlink `which calibre` /gnu/store/bhasa1a7pvv1icmdm6nrpscazw23pa03-calibre-4.18.0/bin/calibre It does not move, but thus can of course become outdated or even deleted when you do a "guix gc".
