Basic Install of Guix Instructions Confusing

I’m having problems finding the latest ISO of Guix. The instructions on installing Guix gives me the GitHub site but there is no ISO artifact. The latest ISO I found was created in 2024. I don’t know where to find an ISO later than December 24th. The release page shows me “This installer image was prepared with the following channel configuration:” but there is no ISO artifact.

Hi leef! There is an open issue about the ISOs not being included in the CI jobs.

Yesterday I installed guix system with the latest ISO available from 2024 and it worked ok. The only difference with the instructions was that I had to guix install nss-certs before issuing the guix time-machine command.

I agree that the instructions are confusing, and moreover they’re not easy to find. There is also another open issue about this.

HTH
