I just tried to install using "cabal install" and got an error with the dependencies:

$ cabal install
Resolving dependencies...
cabal: Could not resolve dependencies:
trying: helm-0.6.0 (user goal)
next goal: SDL2 (dependency of helm-0.6.0)

Have you installed SDL2 using your package manager?

You need to clone the SDL2 bindings repo and cabal install them to get the SDL2 dependency. You will of course need SDL2 installed on the system in order to do that. I'll leave this issue open until the SDL2 bindings get published to Hackage (no idea when that'll be) so that anyone else that runs into this knows what do.
