Error when running Shake build system

[conradwt]

Given

• macOS 10.15.3
• Stack Version 2.1.3 x86_64 hpack-0.31.2
• GHC 8.6.5
• VSCode Insiders Version: 1.42.0-insider

When I type

git clone https://github.com/haskell/haskell-ide-engine --recursive
cd haskell-ide-engine && ./install.hs build

Then I get the following error message:

Error when running Shake build system:
  at want, called at src/Development/Shake/Internal/Args.hs:83:69 in shake-0.18.3-K6N2eLzVtai6jtZeWAmEIo:Development.Shake.Internal.Args

build is not a valid command. See https://github.com/haskell/haskell-ide-engine/blob/master/README.md#building

Hi, I'm new to Haskell and I'm following these instructions:

@alanz I'm starting to make much better progress now. After performing the following steps:

stack ./install.hs hie-8.6.5
stack ./install.hs data

Should I then install the VS Code extension?

[fendor]

Yes, the vscode extensions is required, but apparently its documentation is not up-to-date!

Thanks @alanz and @fendor for your assistance and this issue can be closed.
