I am trying latest Haskell from here on Windows7. I downloaded ghc-8.8.1-x86_64-unknown-mingw32.tar.xz (377.3 MB) and untarred it in a folder and added bin folder path to environment.
Now I can run ghc but cabal or cabal-install are not there.
Although I:\ghc-8.8.1\lib\Cabal-3.0.0.0 is there in package but there is no cabal.exe or cabal-install.exe
How can I get an run cabal in this setup? Thanks for your help.
GHC is just the compiler and a set of core libraries and executables, of which cabal-the-program is not one. The Cabal you found is a library for package management. The cabal program is part of the cabal-install package, and it depends on the Cabal library. Without cabal-install installed, you cannot cabal install cabal-install. Instead, you have to manually download the cabal program from the website. You can build it from source or you can use one of the pre-built binaries.
