One way to do this with the guix API is to get the derivation, then build it: (use-modules (guix derivations) (guix store) (gnu packages bash)) (define package bash-minimal) (define store (open-connection)) (define der (package-derivation store package)) (build-derivations store (list der)) Is that what you want?
