Hello Lisa,

Welcome!
Nice that you are interested in Guix.

Are you currently running Guix on your machine ?

The easiest is to start with the package manager [1] using the shell
script installer (first Red note in [1] :-)).  The package manager
works on any GNU/linux distribution and is not in conflict with the
distro package manager.  Do not hesitate to ask on help-guix@gnu.org
or #guix if you hit any problem, the Guix folks are prompt for
answering. :-)  Once you can run "guix <command>" [2], you can read
how to define a package [3].  BTW, give a look to the Perfect Setup
[4] and here [5] my config files if you need inspiration. ;-)

Well, if you have already used --- or currently using --- you can try
"guix import" or "guix refresh"; i.e., write your first package
contribution.  Therefore, you need to read [6].  Again, do not
hesitate to ask on help-guix@gnu.org or #guix if you hit any problem.
