From then on, you can update the system whenever you want by running, say:
|
||||
|
||||
@example
|
||||
guix pull
|
||||
sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm
|

@end example
|

@noindent
|

This builds a new system generation with the latest packages and services
|
||||
(@pxref{Invoking guix system}). We recommend doing that regularly so that
|
||||
your system includes the latest security updates (@pxref{Security Updates}).

@quotation Note
|
||||
@cindex sudo vs. @command{guix pull}
|
||||
Note that @command{sudo guix} runs your user's @command{guix} command and
|
||||
@emph{not} root's, because @command{sudo} leaves @code{PATH} unchanged. To
|
||||
explicitly run root's @command{guix}, type @command{sudo -i guix @dots{}}.
