@ -115,6 +115,8 @@ Put briefly:
- Always use sandboxes for installing new packages, building new or existing projects, or starting experiments
- Use `cabal repl` to start a project-scoped ghci instance
The sandbox-based approach I suggest should avoid package-dependency problems, but it's incompatible with the way the Haskell Platform provides pre-built packages. If you're still learning Haskell and don't understand how ghc-pkg and Cabal work, *avoid Platform* and instead use the install instructions earlier in the guide.
