It is now in my .bash_profile.

Thank you

I have been able to switch my non root users shell from zsh to bash.
Now with a user that has a bash shell I am able to continue on using the
contributing section of the manual as a guide and can do: bootstrap,
configure, `./pre-inst-env guix lint package-name` and `./pre-inst-env
guix build --rounds=4 package-name`.
