GHCup install fails on intel macOS - ideas?

Installation help
1

Hi! I'm on macOS Monterey, using intel core.
I have tried uninstalling (ghcup nuke, removed xcode's command line tools, removed .ghc, .cabal and .ghcup folders).
Reinstalled xcode-select and now GHC in hope of updating my tidal configuration using the bootstrap.

Okay, I got further after reinstalling (along with a brew cleanup of) gawk. Now the install ends on the following note:

Installing cabal
[ Info  ] Cabal installation successful
sh: line 119: cabal: command not found
"cabal update --ignore-project" failed!```

and then, after brew installing ghc and cabal, it all works out!
