stack install to get the latest executable from hackage?

[Rob Stewart‏]

Hi,

I'd like to update my cabal-install to 1.24.1.0 . Here's my setup:

$ cabal --version

cabal-install version 1.22.9.0

$ which cabal

/home/rob/.local/bin/cabal

$ stack install cabal-install

..

Copied executables to /home/rob/.local/bin:

- cabal

But that's not 1.24.1.0, it's still 1.22.9.0. What stack options should I be using to say: "obtain the latest package from hackage, and build and install the executable from that latest version"?

stack install cabal-install-1.24.1.0

Or

stack --resolver nightly --install-ghc install cabal-install

Actually, you probably want to stick to the second one to avoid dependency problems.

Yes the second one worked, thanks.
