* Binary deployment Note binary deployment is not working pending a few improvements to GNU Guix. See source deployment instead. ** Install Guix using a tar ball GN can be deployed either as a binary tarball or as a GNU Guix package. First install GNU Guix following the instructions of the [[https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Binary-Installation.html#Binary-Installation][binary installation]] using a tar ball from [[https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/download/][here]]. With guix-daemon running you should be able to install the hello package: : guix package -i hello ** Fix locale You may want to #+begin_src sh :lang bash export GUIX_LOCPATH=$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale export LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 #+end_src sh :lang bash ** Authorize our archives Next add our archive key to guix (as root): #+begin_src scheme echo "(public-key (ecc (curve Ed25519) (q #E9A95686D8437186302E07C7AB9BF3913F435026C2D389AF27D9C66FD6EBB649#) ) ) "|guix archive --authorize #+end_src scheme if you have trouble finding a suitable guix try : ls /gnu/store/*guix-*/bin/guix and you should be able to use this directly, e.g. : alias guix=/gnu/store/632msbms2yaldfnlrb5lbnlnmn9yjisw-guix-0.9.0/bin/guix : guix --version ** Download and install the GN2 archive Find the archive on => https://files.genenetwork.org/software/ download and install with #+begin_src bash guix archive --import < genenetwork2-data-hash.nar #+end_src bash and you should see a list of packages installing, e.g. #+begin_src bash importing path `/gnu/store/l1zs2drn3zdzl5ysjcmhibcpa35p9zfc-python2-mysqlclient-1.3.7' importing path `/gnu/store/n7kfg4knibvblggy8ci2liscl7vz5wkg-python2-parallel-1.6.4' importing path `/gnu/store/qvv16qwlq59gp5d07lwbf5n8ndsi3il3-python2-sqlalchemy-1.0.11' importing path `/gnu/store/qw872mbmr9ir0a9drv9xw9pvjk05ywwy-python2-xlsxwriter-0.8.4' importing path `/gnu/store/wc112m1xfy3p08v14bdzay2ki2rirdsm-pylmm-gn2-1.0-3c6d1cac8' importing path `/gnu/store/zfkcy17c2ks3cd9ks14irdabqvmlfpyn-python2-flask-sqlalchemy-2.1' importing path `/gnu/store/cgcjdiz1qylbc372gc3nda3372ihkpqb-genenetwork2-2.0-a8fcff4' (etc.) #+end_src bash The following packages need to be added and the R path set : export R_LIBS_SITE="/home/wrk/.guix-profile/site-library/" : guix package -i /gnu/store/w0dqg9dshq53j8xhcnqgvnvms2s6y5k5-r-wgcna-1.49-425bc170cc0873ddbd414675ac40f6d4d724c7cb : guix package -i /gnu/store/k60bdlm0v7xic88j2z5c1jb1jvc371mn-r-qtl-1.38-4 You can add the last one to your profile : guix package -i /gnu/store/cgcjdiz1qylbc372gc3nda3372ihkpqb-genenetwork2-2.0-a8fcff : export PATH=~/.guix-profile/bin:$PATH : genenetwork2 or run it directly with : /gnu/store/cgcjdiz1qylbc372gc3nda3372ihkpqb-genenetwork2-2.0-a8fcff/bin/genenetwork2 ** Other Update guix with a 'guix pull' and make guix visible in the path. More information exists also in my [[https://github.com/pjotrp/guix-notes/blob/master/INSTALL.org][guix-notes]]. With guix running you should be able to install python, for example. : guix package -i python2 This will make python appear in $HOME/.guix-profile/bin/python. Suggested environment settings can be seen with : guix package --search-paths
