Hi, It is just me or upgrading tidal just broke my install. Weird thing is that the cabal update and new tidal install actually installed version 1.49 and not 1.51, but it says it is up to date ... I am on Mac OSX. Anyone experiencing the same issue and actually solved it. Help appreciated @ ---

Hi can you share the commands you're running and anything you get back, thanks ---

I had a similar issue (also on Mac here). Running... ``` cabal v1-update cabal v1-install tidal ``` ...seemed to properly install 1.51 for me. The plain 'cabal update' etc led to all sorts of issues. @yaxu talks about this at the beginning of the latest live stream, with a few different ways of upgrading. Only issue was then Atom complained about 'multiple packages', but that can be fixed easily as detailed here: [https://club.tidalcycles.org/t/live-stream-6-tidal-1-5-0-release-party-and-q-a/1152/6?u=dand](https://club.tidalcycles.org/t/live-stream-6-tidal-1-5-0-release-party-and-q-a/1152/6) ---

Note : I am on v2 not v1 Ok, first I did that : `cabal update` `cabal install tidal --lib` which says I am up to date. Now, I gave it a try and did : `cabal v2-update` `cabal v2-install tidal` which gave me this : ```haskell Resolving dependencies... Build profile: -w ghc-8.8.3 -O1 In order, the following will be built (use -v for more details): - tidal-1.5.2 (lib) (requires download & build) Downloading tidal-1.5.2 Downloaded tidal-1.5.2 Starting tidal-1.5.2 (lib) Building tidal-1.5.2 (lib) Installing tidal-1.5.2 (lib) Completed tidal-1.5.2 (lib) Warning: You asked to install executables, but there are no executables in target: tidal. Perhaps you want to use --lib to install libraries instead. ``` And now if I add the `--lib ` to the command it says it is up to date, and it is still broken when trying to use tidal in vscode. I went a little further but still stuck for the moment ... ---

OK, great thanks it worked by removing the default env, so in the end the right combination of commands was : ```haskell cabal v2-update cabal v2-install tidal rm ~/.ghc/x86_64-darwin-8.8.3/environments/default ``` Ready to Rave Thanks very much @yaxu @DanD ---

I've had the same problem trying to update last version. Even if I type that code below ``` cabal v2-update cabal v2-install tidal rm ~/.ghc/x86_64-darwin-8.8.3/environments/default ``` It doesn't work appearing this message in the terminal window: ``` Resolving dependencies... Up to date Warning: You asked to install executables, but there are no executables in target: tidal. Perhaps you want to use --lib to install libraries instead. ``` If I use --lib, this message appears again. When I boot tidal package in atom this message appears ``` Load BootTidal.hs from /Users/eloi/.atom/packages/tidalcycles/lib/BootTidal.hs t>Loaded package environment from /Users/eloi/.ghc/x86_64-darwin-8.6.5/environments/default t>: error: Ambiguous module name ‘Sound.Tidal.Context’: it was found in multiple packages: tidal-1.5.2 tidal-1.5.2 ``` Terminal says that if I run this code below `cabal v2-update 'hackage.haskell.org,2020-09-21T14:43:35Z'` I'll revert previous state, but I still didn't do it. What can I do? ---

I've got it. I just erased the package environement `/Users/eloi/.ghc/x86_64-darwin-8.6.5/environments/default` and then cabal install tidal --lib ---

Yes as you probably spotted it tells you the location of the package file to delete when you start `ghci`, including when you start tidal in atom. I hope these cabal bugs will be fixed soon. In the meantime I recommend using `cabal v1-update` then `cabal v1-install tidal` instead.
