i'm getting this error message

t> : error:

It is not a module in the current program, or in any known package.

Can you paste here the whole console print?

Seems like tidal is not installed...
Try the first two chapter of the troubleshooting page:

thank you! i got an error message after following the instructions, apparently that means i should try to install the full haskell platform (i was sure i already tried this before). i'm going to try again and report back.

okay, i tried reinstalling everything after reinstalling haskell:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> cabal update

cabal install tidal
Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org
cabal.exe: Could not read index. Did you call 'checkForUpdates'?
cabal.exe: Could not read index. Did you call 'checkForUpdates'?

i then tried the fix here: https://club.tidalcycles.org/t/trouble-launching-tidal-in-atom/678/3
but continued to get the same error after cabal install tidal

I think you should run cabal update then cabal install tidal

it looks like i get the same errors that way:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> cabal update
Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org
cabal.exe: Could not read index. Did you call 'checkForUpdates'?
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> cabal install tidal
cabal.exe: Could not read index. Did you call 'checkForUpdates'?

Here are people with the same problem: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/5574

It seems something is corrupt but that link should help find which files you need to delete.

thank you!! i actually managed to get it working by just making sure haskell was completely uninstalled, once i reinstalled it after that it was all smooth sailing.
