Those instructions seem to assume a Debian (or derivative) base and SystemD. So no, you'll have to stray quite a bit from those instructions. I see there's an AUR package that you can use as a guide. I haven't personally vetted it or anything and ymmv.

Thanks for the tip, I forgot about AUR )) I wonder why there is no guix package manager in Artix Linux repositories https://gitea.artixlinux.org/packages?q=guix&sort=recentupdate

I think this is a cool manager through which you can install, for example, the Icecat browser https://packages.guix.gnu.org/search/?query=icecat  and much more ..

Hi. Thanks for the answer. I looked at the program "octopi" (powerful Pacman/AUR front end using Qt libs) https://github.com/aarnt/octopi cool program.
But I'm still interested in Guix Package Manager. I'll try the manual installation method https://systemcrafters.net/craft-your-system-with-guix/installing-the-package-manager/, but if guix was in the Artix repository, it would be great and convenient))
