• About

  GNU Guix is a transactional package manager for the GNU system.
  The Guix System Distribution, GuixSD, is an advanced distribution
  of the GNU system.

  In addition to standard package management features, Guix supports
  transactional upgrades and roll-backs, unprivileged package
  management, and per-user profiles.  GuixSD offers a declarative
  approach to operating system configuration management and is highly
  hackable.  Guix uses low-level mechanisms from the Nix package
  manager, except that packages are defined as native Guile modules,
  using extensions to the Scheme language.

  GuixSD uses the Linux-Libre kernel and the GNU Shepherd init system.
  It can be used on an i686, x86_64, armv7, or aarch64 machine.

  It is also possible to use Guix on top of an already installed
  GNU/Linux system, including on armv7, aarch64, and mips64el.

  [*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
  .sig suffix) is intact.  First, be sure to download both the .sig file
  and the corresponding tarball.  Then, run a command like this:
  
    gpg --verify guix-0.16.0.tar.gz.sig
  
  If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
  then run this command to import it:

  and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.
