Which commands can I use to enter and close my new profile?
To enter, you just need to ’source path/to/some-profile/etc/profile’.
However, you cannot “deactivacte“; unset the environment variables and
restore the previous ones. Maybe, the easiest is:
bash
source path/to/some-profile/etc/profile
…do some stuff…
exit
Instead, you can run
guix shell -p path/to/some-profile/etc/profile
…do some stuff…
exit
which does the same thing as above.
...and also at start up that I can choose which profile to open?
What do you mean by “choose”?
guix package --profile=/home/gfp/projects/musescore-3.6.2.guix-profile
and beforehand I created the directory "projects" and
"Musescore-3.6.2" in the directory "projects"
in my /home/gfp/ directory
(I did that because it said: "
file or directory was not found"
but it didn't work.
"warning: nothing to do" was the answer.
Where was my mistake?
It is missing the option -i (or -m). For instance,
guix package -i musescore -p projects/musescore-3.6.2.guix-profile
