Hi, I am a musician and not a programmer, and I find the way music and time are conceptualized in Tidalcycles very interesting. In 2020 after a lot of difficulty, I managed to install Tidalcycles and greatly enjoyed using it. Various life stuff happened and now I'm returning to Tidalcycles and want to upgrade it. The docs suggest upgrading everything, so:
-
I first unistalled Tidalcycles using choco uninstall tidalcycles.
-
Then I reinstalled Tidalcycles using choco install tidalcycles
-
I confirmed that SuperCollider and Superdirt were listening to Tidal on port 57120
-
Started Atom and attempted to run basic tutorial code, only to get the following error:
Choose ghc base path
> no custom path configured
> ghcup not found
* using default GHC system path definition
Ghci command: ghci
Ghc-pkg command: ghc-pkg
Choose BootTidal.hs path
> no custom path configured
> not found in current directory
> cannot get tidal installation folder Error: Command failed: "ghc-pkg" field tidal data-dir
ghc-pkg.exe: cannot find package tidal
* use the default contained in the plugin
* load BootTidal.hs from C:\Users\aurelian\.atom\packages\tidalcycles\lib\BootTidal.hs

: error:
Could not find module `Sound.Tidal.Context'
It is not a module in the current program, or in any known package.
t> Variable not in scope: d1 :: t0 -> t
Variable not in scope: s :: t1 -> t0
I don't know what any of that means, and googling leads me to a lot of discussions ranging over several years, most of which are totally above my head. I just want to make music with this amazing software, but I don't know what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
