Hi,

Thank you for sharing this tutorial! I am a Haskell/cabal/nix noob and I am not a developer by profession - just trying out Haskell for fun. First off, I am liking how this tutorial is clearly explained. However, when I try "nix-build release0.nix", the terminal screams error: getting status of '/home/user/nix-test/release0.nix': No such file or directory

Also if I try nix build release0.nix (no dash between nix and the build command) the terminal screams error: experimental Nix feature 'nix-command' is disabled; use '--extra-experimental-features nix command to override

I am on Windows 10, and I have installed nix, ghc, and cabal using WSL2.

I hope to hear from you!

Okay. I'm an idiot. I needed to clone project0 and start from there. Question: How did you generate the files in project0?

[jycappucino]

Found the answer to my second question: Answer: $ nix-shell --packages ghc --run 'cabal init'

I think I will now be able to follow this tutorial! Thanks a lot!!!!!!
