Installing Dependencies

Haskell Platform and Cabal

The main dependency of > Prompt is the programming language Haskell and a common Haskell build tool called Cabal. Both can be acquired with a standard installation of the Haskell build platform.

macOS: Homebrew

If you have Homebrew installed on your Mac, simply install the Haskell platform by typing:

$ brew cask install haskell-platform

Alternative Haskell and Cabal Installs

If Homebrew isn't an option, I suggest following the guides on the Haskell website: Haskell Downloads.

(optional) latexmk

If you would like to visualize your cue placements in a PDF copy of the script, you will need to install latexmk and have it on your PATH.

👀 Since installing LaTeX and its dependencies are often an involved process, the CLI for the program has a --latex-off flag. You won't be able to visualize the output, but you will get a .tex file that you can render at a later time. Regardless, the program will let you know if you've written a compiling program.

macOS: Homebrew

If you have Homebrew installed on your Mac, simply install the latexmk as bundled with mactex by typing:

$ brew cask install mactex

Check to see if an installation exists with your preferred package manager or online.
