So I've got the HVR ppa going, now, what specifically do I want to install,
type on the command? I guess I'm hearing stack?

You can install `ghc` and `cabal-install` (provide the `cabal` command line
application) using hvr ppa, if you have a project created by `cabal` or
`stack`, then that's pretty much all you need (ghc+cabal-install), you can
run
cabal new-update # update the local package package indexes
cabal new-build # to build the package
or use
cabal init # to create a project
There're other commands such as `cabal new-install, cabal new-test, cabal
new-run` could be quite useful, the official document can be found at:
https://cabal.readthedocs.io/en/latest/nix-local-build-overview.html
If you choose `stack` then stack can manage ghc installation by itself,
the stack website should have enough information to get started:
https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/README/
Personally I would prefer hvr ghc/cabal-install, or stack, instead of
ghc/cabal provided by the system, as they don't usually seems to
up-to-date, and cabal-install manages packages dependencies a lot better
with the new command line interfaces (cabal new-*).

So I've set up the Herbert V. Riedel PPA
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hvr/ghc
sudo apt-get update
then I installed ghc-8.6.3 and cabal-install-2.4
sudo apt-get install ghc-8.6.3
sudo apt-get install cabal-install-2.4
. . . and stuff seems to be installing. However a check finds no cabal and
ghc version 8.2.2
What am I missing?
