On Guix, I can install the hello package like this:
$ guix package -i hello I can see that this package is available in different architectures:
$ guix package --show=hello [...] systems: x86_64-linux i686-linux armhf-linux aarch64-linux mips64el-linux [...] How can I install the hello package for a specific platform/system, say i686-linux?
guix install itself doesn't know about architecture, but there's a trick. You can pass a package name to guix install, but also a store path directly. Using guix build, you can obtain the store path of the i686-linux variant of the package, like this:
guix build hello -s i686-linux Then, you can install that, and as a one-liner:
guix install $(guix build hello -s i686-linux)
