Unless `--disable-daemon' was passed, the following packages are needed:
- Install the dependencies (see 'Requirements' above) and build tools using
Guix:
- guix package --install={autoconf,automake,bzip2,gcc-toolchain,gettext,guile,libgcrypt,pkg-config,sqlite}
+ guix package --install autoconf automake bzip2 gcc-toolchain gettext \
+ guile libgcrypt pkg-config sqlite
