* Running Guix before it is installed
|
||||
|
||||
Command-line tools can be used even if you have not run "make install".
|
||||
To do that, prefix each command with ‘./pre-inst-env’, as in:
|
||||
|
||||
./pre-inst-env guix-build --help
|
||||
|
||||
Similarly, for a Guile session using the Guix modules:
|
||||
|
||||
./pre-inst-env guile -c '(use-modules (guix utils)) (pk (%current-system))'
|
||||
|
||||
The ‘pre-inst-env’ script sets up all the environment variables
|
||||
necessary to support this.
