How's the Tidal install process?

Installation help

You have an older version of ghc - 8.10.7. On a Mac it is better to be on 9.2.5 or 9.6.1. You can use ghcup to install ghc 9.2.5 or 9.6.1. And you should probably have cabal 3.10.1.0.

Then you need to delete your current Tidal install and reinstall it. To do this:

  • Delete these folders
/Users/<yourUser>/.ghc/
/Users/<yourUser>/.cabal/
  • Then run the Tidal install commands:
cabal update
cabal v1-install tidal

If you still get the same error you can try editing your BootTidal.hs file and commenting out the line with "streamResetCycles". This is only a temporary hack that helps you see if that is the only error.
