`stack init` makes the computer unresponsive

[EGarrulo]

I am trying to install Stackage.  I have downloaded `stack` and run `stack build`, as instructed by the website.  However, the command failed and `stack` told me that maybe I should have run `stack init` first.  I did so and the PC became unresponsive, with the hard disk spinning like crazy.  The task manager showed `stack init` taking up all the available memory and pushing for more. 

I am using Debian GNU/Linux (I know that there is a .deb package, but I would rather do the manual installation).

Any help?  Thanks.

Are you running `stack build` and `stack init` in your project directory?

I have installed `stack`, put into PATH, and run `stack init` from HOME.

stack init recursively searches subdirectories for haskell projects so if you are running it from $HOME that probably explains your symptoms. Try running stack init for a single project in its directory instead.

That fixed the issue, thanks.

stack init is for stack-ifying existing projects. If you want to create a new project with stack, try "stack new".
