https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Upgrading-Guix.html#Upgrading-Guix

\#guix pull
\#systemctl restart guix-daemon.service

$ export PATH=/home/mbc/.config/guix/current/bin:$PATH
$hash guix               ;;to invalidate your shell's cache for the guix binary location.
$type guix               ;;must return ~/.config/guix/current/bin/guix

$guix package -s guile-json

Configure EMACS/Geiser

look at the file ~/.configure/guix/current/bin which will provide you with the guix/guile binary path and the recipe for %load-path.

In EMACS configure Geiser with the above executable, and for the load path entry (which requests a file) use the ~/.configure/guix/current/bin file.
