* Installing Guix from Guix

info -f doc/guix.info "Building from Git"
|

|
||||
You can re-build and re-install Guix using a system that already runs Guix.
|
||||
To do so:
|
||||
or by checking the [[https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Running-Guix-Before-It-Is-Installed.html][web
|
||||
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
|
||||
|
||||
- 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".
|
||||
./pre-inst-env guix pull
