I get 

Could not find package evancz/elm-markdown.

Maybe your elm-stuff/ directory has been corrupted? You can usually fix stuff
like this by deleting elm-stuff/ and rebuilding your project.

I looked at #94 but to no avail. I tried running elm package install but I can see that elm-stuff/packages is still empty.

What is the correct way for installing required dependencies/packages?

Thanks for the issue! Make sure it satisfies this checklist. My human colleagues will appreciate it!

Here is what to expect next, and if anyone wants to comment, keep these things in mind.

On further investigation, looks like I have an old Elm version 0.16 installed on my Mac. However I've just installed 0.18 via brew. When using the Installer on the official page it is still 0.16 Elm Platform. Figured out I can upgrade via npm: npm install -g elm Cheers!

That did the trick. Had to remove elm-stuff and relaunch reactor!
