# Presentation
|
|
|
|
This tool is a simple wrapper that help running Linux binaries on Guix because otherwise you can't easily execute a binary that doesn't come from the system itself.
|
|
|
|
This is inspired by the [steam-run](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Steam#steam-run) wrapper available on NixOS, which is not related to Steam because it's used to run any Linux binary.
|
|
|
|
# Usage
|
|
|
|
You need to have to following packages installed to make it work: `gcc-objc++:lib gtk+` but this may depend on what you are running.
|
|
|
|
Then to use it, it's as easy as: `linux-run ./some_executable`.
