这个小节描述了如何在你的电脑上“手动地”安装GNU Guix System。这样做需要你熟悉GNU/Linux，终端以及常用管理工具。若你对此不自信，建议使用指导的图形安装(see 指导的图形安装)。
The installation system provides root shells on TTYs 3 to 6; press
ctrl-alt-f3, ctrl-alt-f4, and so on to reach them. It includes
many common tools needed to install the system, but is also a full-blown
Guix System. This means that you can install additional packages, should
you need it, using guix package (see Invoking guix package).
