Do you mean snapshot-level packages? If so, yes. If you mean project-specific packages: they're all stored in the .stack-work directory of the project itself. My recommendation overall is: build a project with `stack`, and run `stack path` to get information on all of the different paths it's using for various things. > > For the second question: either `stack ghci` or `stack exec ghci` should > > achieve what you're looking for.
