The command "guix package -I" is used in the Guix package manager to install packages on a GNU system. Here is a breakdown of the command:
-
"guix": This command is the main entry point for the Guix package manager. It allows you to perform various operations related to managing packages.
-
"package": This subcommand is used to manage packages in Guix. It provides options to install, upgrade, remove, and query packages.
-
"-I": This option is used with the "guix package" command to explicitly specify the packages that you want to install. It allows you to provide a list of package names or patterns to install.
For example, if you want to install the packages "gcc", "emacs", and "python", you can use the command "guix package -I gcc emacs python". Guix will resolve the dependencies of these packages and install them on your system.
