You can construct a pre-compiled packages from a Cabal package (using an
external tool like cabal2rpm). The cabal command line tool has no
support for installing such things.

Normally one makes native pre-compiled packages like .deb, .rpm, .msi
etc and then uses the native system for actually installing them.
