apt install guix That *should* start the daemon, enable substitutes, create the build users, etc. You shouldn't have to do anything manually. It will, of course, be a relatively old version of guix (1.2 in bullseye/stable, 1.3 in unstable/experimental) but you can update guix in the typical ways... It is pretty similar to a foreign distro install from guix's binary releases, for the differences, see /usr/share/doc/guix/README.Debian* > What about updating the daemon ? The short of it is, the daemon doesn't get updated. It shouldn't need to most of the time... If there are daemon-relevent security updates, then you get updates via "apt update && apt upgrade". You can of course override that and manually configure guix-daemon that you build in, say, root's profile if you want and need some new features in the daemon. > What's the procedure for a Guix installed through apt ? apt install guix > And what's the procedure for updating a user profile ? Same as on any guix installation: guix pull guix upgrade To some extent, it just provides a trust path from Debian to getting a guix that you then update through the normal guix mechanisms... live well, vagrant
