Zachary,

I highly recommend using the nix package manager for GHCJS projects.

Nix is very easy to install and uninstall (rm -rf /nix).

To install: curl https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh

To be put into a shell where ghcjs exists along with a few dependencies, run, nix-shell -p "haskell.packages.ghcjs.ghcWithPackages (pkgs: with pkgs; [ghcjs-base ghcjs-dom])”
