Probably one needs to ensure that ~/.cabal/bin is in the PATH-variable before the path that cabal normally lives in. Alternatively you have to use sudo and the --global switch for cabal (not recommended).

*If* you ever have to install something globally with cabal, note that you should use cabal install --global --root-cmd=sudo and NOT 'sudo cabal install --global'. This is so that cabal will only take root privileges for the actual copying/installation, and not pollute your package cache, etc. with files owned by root. *But* as Norbert says (and I strongly agree), it is not recommended to use --global with cabal, unless you know what you are doing and why. -Brent

Hi Ari,

Is it best to clone the cabal git repo and install as described here? In which case, should I remove the existing cabal installation from "/usr/bin"?

It's just:

cabal install cabal-install
