How to install for M1 Mac

Installation help

I wrote an article about how to install Tidal Cycles on M1-Mac.
but this original article is japanese only. I use the google Translation.

If you have a problem of install, please read it.

Thank you.

Better MacOS M1 Install Documentation?
Could not find module ‘Sound.Tidal.Context’ It is not a module in the current program, or in any known package
Error Atom

Looking around at Haskell issues on the M1, I also came across this:
GHC leaks LLVM's llc processes on a package with large number of modules on macOS (#20305) · Issues · Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC · GitLab
which might be making things more complicated. It looks like this has been fixed in GHC 9 but may still exist in GHC 8

Hi bgold

That advice was so helpful- thank you!
I will try to use GHC9.

GHC 9.2.2 (latest) worked. And it don't need llvm.
I rewrote my article! Thank you.

Hello,
I'm having a hard time with a new install on an M1 MBP with Monterey. I believe that I've installed all of the components by frankensteinging instructions from a few different threads and the ones linked above.

I'm getting the following errors from VSCODE:

Summary 
GHCi, version 9.2.2: https://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help

It seems like I haven't been able to properly give GHC a path but my attempts to do that haven't worked.
Thanks for any suggestions!

EDIT: Any ideas @yaxu

It does seem the Tidal library is itself installed correctly (it's finding the modules), but it looks like your startup file is trying to load something from the "hosc" package, which has been installed as "hidden" (which is the default).

That's not normally part of the startup, so I don't know why it's doing that. So you could either figure out where something is trying to import Sound.OSC.FD and get rid of it, or you tell the system to "unhide" the hosc library by doing cabal install --lib hosc

Thanks for writing this article! Couldn't get tidalcycles to work on my M1 until I followed your steps.

Hi barbe & all. longtime tidal user but setting it up fresh on a new M1 Mac and running into problems. Thanks barbe for the helpful guide. I've followed it carefully and it has got me the closest of any info I've found, but unfortunately still running into problems.

When I install tidal, I get the below log. If anyone could advise about what to try next, I'd be grateful. Thanks

Lots of output to consider there, but one highlight is GHC 9.2.2. As I recall, Tidal 1.9.2 requires GHC 9.4.2. Updating your GHC would be a good next step.
