[Haskell-beginners] How to Update Cabal?

[Ari King]

Hi,

I installed the haskell platform for ubuntu, which contains cabal-install
version 1.16.0.2

I'd like to use sandboxes, which as I understand is available in versions
>= 1.18.

Is it best to clone the cabal git repo and install as described
here<http://coldwa.st/e/blog/2013-08-20-Cabal-sandbox.html>?
In which case, should I remove the existing cabal installation from
"/usr/bin"?

Best,
Ari
