This article is a stub. You can help by expanding it.
The cabal-install package provides the cabal command-line tool which simplifies the process of managing Haskell software by automating the fetching, configuration, compilation and installation of Haskell libraries and programs.
Those packages must be prepared using Cabal and should be present at Hackage.
See https://cabal.readthedocs.io/ for more info.
