it says (in the last line)

Use --force-reinstalls if you want to install anyway.

have you done this? (add this option to the cabal command line)

if you're using ghc just for tidal, no other Haskell projects, then it should not break anything, and you could wipe and re-install ghc anyway.

other options: use current ghc (9.8.2), use cabal install --lib, use other operating system :slight_smile:

I used --force-reinstalls and it installed with no errors after that. Everything else is working as per the installation docs. I'm currently listening to some arpeggio examples. Thanks :smile:
