Hi Peder, I'd recommend giving stack a try (https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack). I have found it easier to use than cabal-install. Many executables will install just fine using `stack install <package-name>`. Packages that stack has trouble creating a build plan for (like hakyll) can usually be installed using the following:
stack unpack hakyll cd hakyll-* stack init stack setup stack install `stack install` copies the resulting binaries to ~/.local/bin by default: add that to your path.
