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 :-)

Hello, Eric,

The Guix daemon was active and enabled when I checked systemctl, and a
daemon reload didn't work, either.
A reboot seemed to do the trick, at least I was able to successfully run 'guix 
build guix' after that.

But now when I try to run 'guix pull' to update my packages, I get:

Updating from Git repository at 'https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git'...
guix pull: error: mkdir: Permission denied

guix pull works as the root user (or at least it runs, I'm still waiting
to see if it exits with no errors), but not as 'sudo' from my non-root
account (that one just spits out a somewhat lengthy error that I cannot
remember by heart)

Have you started the guix-daemon?
