+# INSTALLATION
+
+Other options for running this tool.
+
+## GNU Guix
+
+Another way to install this tool is inside a [GNU Guix Environment](https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Invoking-guix-environment.html), which can handle installing dependencies for you even when you don't have root access on an Ubuntu system.
+
+1. **Set up and enter a container with the necessary dependencies.** After installing Guix as `~/opt/guix/bin/guix`, run:
+
+```sh
+~/opt/guix/bin/guix environment -C guix --ad-hoc git python openssl python-pycurl nss-certs
+```
+
+2. **Install the tool.** From there you can follow the [user installation instructions](#installation-with-pip3---user). In brief:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user schema-salad  arvados-python-client
+```
+
+Pip installed the following modules
+
+```
+arvados-python-client-2.0.1 ciso8601-2.1.3 future-0.18.2 google-api-python-client-1.6.7 httplib2-0.17.1 oauth2client-4.1.3 pyasn1-0.4.8 pyasn1-modules-0.2.8 rsa-4.0 ruamel.yaml-0.15.77 six-1.14.0 uritemplate-3.0.1 ws4py-0.5.1
+```
+
+3. Run the tool directly with
+
+```sh
+~/opt/guix/bin/guix environment guix --ad-hoc git python openssl python-pycurl nss-certs -- python3 bh20sequploader/main.py
+```
