As another example, R requires the @code{CURL_CA_BUNDLE} environment
variable to point to a certificate bundle, so you would have to run
something like this:
@example
$ guix package -i nss-certs
$ export CURL_CA_BUNDLE="$HOME/.guix-profile/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt"
@end example
For other applications you may want to look up the required environment
variable in the relevant documentation.
