I am a mere guix user, so you may want to have another answer.
You cannot install anything globally with NPM in guix, because NPM is
installed in a read-only location (/gnu/store/). This is required for
guix to work correctly.
You can use this trick:
https://github.com/sindresorhus/guides/blob/master/npm-global-without-sudo.md
Basically, it tells NPM to install to your home directory. So that it
is still installed in a central location, but this location is read-
write.
