You need to make sure that /home/sherab/.config/guix/current/bin comes
first in the list of directories in the PATH variable.

By adding something like this to your /etc/profile or ~/.bash_profile
file:

    export PATH="$HOME/.config/guix/current/bin:$PATH"

If you are using Guix System you don’t need to do anything.

You should run “hash guix” as the message says, and then you can run
“type guix” to confirm that the command “guix” resolves to the
executable at “/home/sherab/.config/guix/current/bin/guix”.
