i have ff installed here on my kubuntu laptop --  
now i am trying to install it on another laptop with arch linux...  
i have tidal installed with AUR package  
[https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86\_64/haskell-tidal/](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/haskell-tidal/)  
so there's no cabal install/folder... 🤔

should i install a cabal AUR package? and reinstall tidal with cabal?  
or just try to install/link feedfoward with my working tidal installation?

hi, I installed it, and I have some questions:

- there's a way to load a custom BootTidal.hs file?
- there's a way to execute functions like `all` / `once` etc...?
- there's a way to use transitions like `xfadeIn` or `clutchIn`?

Hi Alex, sorry for the delay.  
After running `cabal install happy alex` it gives me this error.  
What can I do ? Thanks 🙃
