[Haskell-cafe] Global Package Install

[Hécate]

Hi A.

In Stack, the `install` sub-command is an alias to `build --copy-bins`, 
as per the documentation[0]. If you install libraries globally, you may 
hit a point where there is a dependency conflict. ;)
My overall advice is to create a project and add the dependencies with 
which you play.

Cheers,
Hécate
