That works. It tells me to install the locale package etc. Which I
do. Now there is a .guix-profile directory in my user home directory
/home/rlemmon

When I now install a package using the full name /usr/local/bin/guix
e.g. the hello package, it is correctly installed in ~/.guix-profile/bin

However, I still cannot run guix (or hello) without the full path. I
have tried adding /usr/local/bin to my PATH.

What environmental variables need to be set for a standard user ?
