• About
GNU Guix is a transactional package manager and an advanced
distribution of the GNU system that respects user freedom. Guix can
be used on top of any system running the Hurd or the Linux kernel, or
it can be used as a standalone operating system distribution for i686,
x86_64, ARMv7, and AArch64 machines.
In addition to standard package management features, Guix supports
transactional upgrades and roll-backs, unprivileged package
management, per-user profiles, and garbage collection. When used as a
standalone GNU/Linux distribution, Guix offers a declarative,
stateless approach to operating system configuration management. Guix
is highly customizable and hackable through Guile programming
interfaces and extensions to the Scheme language.

and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this:
gpg --verify guix-1.2.0.tar.gz.sig

and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.

Installation” in the manual. To install Guix on a running system, see
“Installation” in the manual.
