Installing GHC on my MacBook Air

[George Colpitts]

Hi Bill

Yes,GHC will run on your new MacBook Air. The cpu in that is Apple Silicon
, the aarch64-apple-darwin platform. Older Macs run on Intel chips,
the x86_64-apple-darwin platform.

I'm not sure how you installed the compiler. I believe the standard way is
described on https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/. Can you tell us how you
installed it?

Thanks
George
