Atom not booting TidalCycles after install, Windows 10

Installation help

Hi everyone,
I've just tried installing Tidal. I used the chocolatey install to start with, although I already had Atom and Git installed. After installing and starting SuperCollider and SuperDirt, I tried to boot Tidal in Atom, but received two error messages:

I've checked and the BootTidal.hs file is in the location that Atom is looking for it in. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and I've also tried running cabal new-install tidal --lib from a command prompt, all to no avail. Haskell seems to be installed properly, as do all the other components. This is really confusing me.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

@dlz.harris You aren't the first to have this problem. It is a conflict with some other software you have installed that provides pthread.dll . You could try finding and removing the other one. Others have tracked the problem down to music software called lilypond installing a problematic pthread.dll

Hey I'm also using Windows 10 and Atom displays this error message:

Cannot browse tidal to obtain informations for autocomplete: Error: Command failed: echo ":browse Sound.Tidal.Context" | "ghci"
'"ghci"' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

This is the first installation of Tidal and its components. SuperDirt works fine in SuperCollider.
Any ideas? Thanks
