@item installer
Run the installer. Usually the installer is built as an @file{iso}
image, copied to a USB Stick or DVD, and booted from (@ref{USB Stick and
DVD Installation}). If your machine already runs Guix and you still
want to run the installer, e.g., for testing purposes, you can skip the
step of creating an @file{iso} and run for instance:
@example
guix system installer --dry-run
@end example
@quotation Note
If you do not use @option{--dry-run} then you need to run as root. Be
@emph{very careful} when running the installer as root, it can cause
data loss or render your system unbootable!
