I am a mere guix user, so you may want to have another answer. You cannot install anything globally with NPM in guix, because NPM is installed in a read-only location (/gnu/store/). This is required for guix to work correctly. You can use this trick: https://github.com/sindresorhus/guides/blob/master/npm-global-without-sudo.md Basically, it tells NPM to install to your home directory. So that it is still installed in a central location, but this location is read- write. Vivien
