Load BootTidal.hs from C:\Users\Tony Thomas.atom\packages\tidalcycles\lib\BootTidal.hs

t>Leaving GHCi.

Hi @tr0j3nt, unfortunately current versions of haskell don't like paths with spaces in.

A workaround is to copy the file from C:\Users\Tony Thomas.atom\packages\tidalcycles\lib\BootTidal.hs to somewhere else, e.g. a new folder C:\tidal

Then go into the settings in atom - find the 'tidalcycles' package and update the boottidal path setting to the new location.

@yaxu thanks for the reply
i copied the folder like you said and changed the bootpath directory
now it shows the following error
t>IO error: "D:\tidal" permission denied
i think im missing something really obvious here. sorry for bothering you for it :sweat_smile:

i had also tried "C:\tidal" but it gave me the same error
