You can re-build and re-install Guix using a system that already runs Guix. or by checking the [[https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Running-Guix-Before-It-Is-Installed.html][web
To do so: copy of the manual]].
- Start a shell with the development environment for Guix: Following building Guix from Git, it can be installed by using:
guix environment guix ./pre-inst-env guix pull
- Re-run the 'configure' script passing it the option
'--localstatedir=/somewhere', where '/somewhere' is the 'localstatedir'
value of the currently installed Guix (failing to do that would lead the
new Guix to consider the store to be empty!). We recommend to use the
value '/var'.
- Run "make", "make check", and "make install".
