Comment (by dredozubov):

 I ran into a few issues running this on my machine, so I made a few
 changes, maybe it'll be helpful to someone else:
 {{{
 $ git clone git at github.com:dredozubov/webapp-template-hs.git
 $ cd webapp-template-hs
 $ git checkout simpl-tick-factor
 $ export ghc=$PATH_TO_GHC
 $ cabal new-build -w $ghc --only-dependencies
 $ n=9 ./build_all.sh -package-db PATH_TO_PACKAGE_DB
 }}}

 Path to package db was `~/.cabal/store/ghc-8.3.20171108/package.db` for me
