[Haskell-beginners] Just started working with Haskell. Need some help

[Courtney Robinson]

How did you install Haskell?
How did you create your project?

If you haven't done so I'd suggest installing using a package from say

That download will install everything you need to get going.
Did you create your project using cabal init?
Maybe copy and paste the error
