@ingo-sander had some problems using the instructions on the README and was able to runs the examples only after I showed him how to.

I need a more specific description of the problem. Is there something missing or not working?

joseedil commented 7 years ago

Please ask Ingo, he complained there was something missing but I can't remember now what was it.

joseedil commented 7 years ago

He could not make the examples work with this:

To install the applications globaly, you can use the following commands, provided you have installed Cabal: cabal install # installs 'forsyde-shallow-examples' and all its dependencies globally ghci # opens a GHC interpreter session from which you can import the applications

I did the following in his machine and it worked:

To install the applications locally in a sandbox, you can use the following commands: cabal sandbox init # creates a sandbox in the current folder in case 'ForSyDe.Shallow' is not globally installed, you need to download/clone its source repo, and type cabal sandbox add-source <path/to/forsyde-shallow> cabal install # installs 'forsyde-shallow-examples' and all its dependencies locally, in the sandbox cabal repl # opens a GHC interpreter session for the sandbox from which you can import the applications

So, it looks like the global install is somehow not working.

@ingo-sander @joseedil : did you have ForSyDe-Shallow installed globally? What is the error output? Please do a proper error report, since I see no reason not to work using cabal install.
