Could not find module

Hi,

I'm following this guide "https://tidalcycles.org/getting_started.html" for linux (ubuntu 17.10).

I have the same problem than #16, but I don't know how to fix it. "This plugin works only with Tidal 0.9+, and it looks like you have 0.8 installed right now...". How do I test that? How do I upgrade?

Something looks wrong in my installation:

$ ghci
GHCi, version 8.0.2: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
$ stack ghci
GHCi, version 8.2.2: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help

I think tidal is installed in stack (I installed it using stack install tidal but not in ghcl). I have no idea what I'm doing by the way.

So I modified the tidal launcher in "bin/tidal" with

#TIDAL_TEMPO_IP=$TIDAL_TEMPO_IP $GHCI -XOverloadedStrings -ghci-script $TIDAL_BOOT_PATH "$@"
TIDAL_TEMPO_IP=$TIDAL_TEMPO_IP stack ghci --ghci-options "-XOverloadedStrings -ghci-script $TIDAL_BOOT_PATH" "$@"

And it works. It also works with no modification in Atom with the tidalcycles plugin.

Thanks

EDIT I also have a warning I don't understand "Warning: No local targets specified, so ghci will not use any options from your package.yaml / *.cabal files."

Hi, I haven't used Stack but if you have to call stack ghci to run ghci then, yes, you have to change the way ghci is called in bin/tidal. You can also write export GHCI=stack ghci at the end of your .bashrc or .profile without changing the bin/tidal script, because it uses that environment variable by default.

Another thing you could try out is not using Stack at all, and install Tidal with Cabal, which is the official package manager (I believe at the time of writing of the Tidal tutorial, Stack was the preferred way, but I haven't had any issues with Cabal recently). You should run:

cabal update
cabal install tidal

Ok thanks I'll look into cabal this evening and close this issue if it works.
