Installation tutorial instructions for hakyll-init do not work as described #655

Open ghost opened 6 years ago

ghost commented 6 years ago

I tried following the installation instructions of the tutorial using Fedora packages, but the instructions seem to be incorrect:

$ hakyll-init my-site
Creating my-site/my-site.cabal
hakyll-init: my-site/my-site.cabal: openFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)
$ dnf info ghc-hakyll-devel

I have hit this too - AFAICT hakyll needs the directory already to exist - seems confusing. (I don't think it is Fedora specific.) Also the site.hs is not created??
