Hi Alex! thanks for this new upcoming things with the new version of tidal!!! unfortunately I have a trouble trying to get to the new version. I'm on a OS Catalina 10.15.4, I did both of the steps with no problem but when I try to run any of the fresh ( #ampbus , #squizbus, press ) the post throws me this errors: ![Screen Shot 2021-01-26 at 10.24.25](https://uzu.lurk.org/uploads/default/original/2X/6/6dfbdaa52808b900f2d67b28d9a319dfce17e4e4.png) ---

Hi, this probably means that you don't have the latest tidal installed. You can check by running `tidal_version` in the editor, it should say 1.7. If you installed with `cabal v1-update` then `cabal v1-install tidal`, and it looks OK, probably you have a version installed a different way that is overriding it. When you start tidal it might give the location of a 'default' file - you can delete this, restart tidal and I think it would work then. Otherwise delete the .ghc and .cabal folders I mention in the top post to start from scratch. ---

OK if you all upgrade SuperDirt to v1.7.1, the gain control should work again. Thanks @julian for the quick fix! ---

Hm that doesn't look very healthy. Did you try deleting the ~/.ghc and ~/.cabal folders and trying again? ---

I just tried deleting both and got the same result. The only way I've been able to get Tidal working is by installing from the Official Repository. ---

Figured it out! I had to add ` export PATH="$HOME/.cabal/bin:$PATH"` to my bash profile and then run `cabal v1-install --ghc-options=-dynamic tidal` ---

Hmm that's strange. @ndr_brt do you maybe know what's going on here? ---

I removed Boot Tidal Path in TidalCycle package settings and now I/O error disappear but Tidal is listening on 6010 port. I think it's the default port configured into the plugin. I changed Superdirt port but it doesn't work. I'm on Windows 10 64 bits. This workaround doesn't work because we need some settings in BootTidal.hs. I opened boot file, updated it and I can save it. So I don't understand why I get peremission denied. ---

I reinstall tidal with cabal ans I get this error. Failed to build network-3.1.2.1. The failure occurred during the configure step. Build log ( C:\Users\cyberik\AppData\Roaming\cabal\logs\ghc-8.10.2\network-3.1.2.1-14e12666707deaad20f16a6650dea20a602b6c18.log ): Configuring network-3.1.2.1... cabal.exe: The package has a './configure' script. If you are on Windows, This requires a Unix compatibility toolchain such as MinGW+MSYS or Cygwin. If you are not on Windows, ensure that an 'sh' command is discoverable in your path. cabal.exe: Failed to build network-3.1.2.1 (which is required by tidal-1.7). This thing is new and I think can occur many errors on windows platform. Could you avoid installing Cygwin ? ---

> [@cyberik](#): > > Could you avoid installing Cygwin ? My setup is using the WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) Version 1 (the Network Communication to Supercollider/Windows is different in Version 2), and runs really smooth (i have a "advanced" emacs setup and installing it was as easy as on linux, with every other solutions before I had a lot of different troubles). So yes, you can avoid to install cygwin. But I havn't tried to install the update yet (maybe I will do this in the evening). ---

@Klinke Thanks, knowing Cygwin and not WSL, i installed it and using terminal, I finally installed Tidal 1.7 successfuly. But Atom still raise same error when booting Tidal: IO error: "C:\Users\cyberik.atom\packages\tidalcycles\lib" permission denied. Question: When desinstalling atom package, is there some files cleaning to do after uninstall from atom settings? ---

The "BootTidal.hs" file path is wrong, that should indicate the file, not the folder. (To see the `\` before the `.` you should put the string in a "block code" like this: `C:\Users\cyberik\.atom\packages\tidalcycles\lib`) ---

I have already try this but when I add filename, I get: t\> Listening for controls on 127.0.0.1:6010 Rules for Boot Tidal Path are: - if configured, the file set in the _Boot Tidal Path_ configuration - if exists, the one in the current directory - if exists, the one in the current Tidal installation, given by the `ghc-pkg` binary configured with _Haskell Path_ - the fallback choice is the one included with the plugin In this case that's the fallback choice and that's wrong because we need custom boot file.
