How to use Guix on Grid'5000
guix is available on the standard environment directly through the guix command.
For example:
guix install hello
TODO: Expliquer quand ça compile ou quand ça télécharge seulement.
Each Grid'5000 site hosts a Guix server communicating with each other. So if you install a package on Nancy and then decide to install the same package in Grenoble the guix server from Grenoble will fetch it from Nancy.
Note: To work properly, a `.guix` directory is created in your home directory. If you remove it, guix will stop working since your profile is stored there.
Supported architecture
For the time being Guix is only available on nodes with x86_64 architecture.
