[Haskell-beginners] How to install new GHC ?

[Baa]

@Francesco: unfortunately nightly misses some package. So, I tried:

  $ stack --resolver=ghc-8.2.2 setup --reinstall
  Preparing to install GHC (tinfo6) to an isolated location. This will not
  interfere with any system-level installation. Already downloaded.                       
  Installed GHC.

  stack will use a sandboxed GHC it installed
  For more information on paths, see 'stack path' and 'stack exec env'
  To use this GHC and packages outside of a project, consider using:
  stack ghc, stack ghci, stack runghc, or stack exec

So seems that 8.2.2 was installed, right? But how to build the project
with new GHC now? I never used cabal before, `stack ghci` still runs
8.0.2 instead of 8.2.2. Installed GHC 8.2.2 does not correspond
to .yaml file LTS - maybe this is a reason why old 8.0.2 is stil used...

When I try cabal build/new-build/repl I get:

  cabal: The program 'ghc' version >=6.4 is required but it could not be
  found.

So, cabal does not know about installed GHC versions (at least 8.0.2,
used by stack). I tried --require-sandbox but without success.
