If you use Stack then you can add a .cabal file to your project that indicates what it depends on. Here's an example I use:

https://github.com/JeffreyBenjaminBrown/montevideo/blob/master/mtv-util/mtv-util.cabal

(It uses the `random` package too; if you search for "random" you'll find the dependencies.)

Stack has global config options too:
https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/yaml_configuration/

which seems likely to offer the same capability; I don't know how to do it that way as I always work within a project with a cabal file.

No idea with stack, but with cabal is:

cabal install --lib random
