After any change to the config file that defines your system, you must run the command ‘sudo -E guix system reconfigure /path/to/config-file.scm’ in order that guix build a new generation of the system with the changes you made (the -E flag to sudo preserves the calling user’s environment, which uses the guix version pulled by them; it is not strictly necessary. And otherwise sudo is generally not needed for guix commands.). The same command must be run to actually update the system generation after running ’guix pull’, just as you might have done when installing guix system. The manual mentions this in section 3.7.
