Adding the haskell-stack mailing list, that's more focused than haskell@haskell.org. Just leaving this message on that mailing list in case someone in the future wonders where this conversation is moving to. Short answer: try adding the following to ~/.stack/config.yaml: package-indices: - name: Hackage download-prefix: https://s3.amazonaws.com/hackage.fpcomplete.com/package/ http: https://s3.amazonaws.com/hackage.fpcomplete.com/00-index.tar.gz Longer answer: most likely it wasn't completely stalled, just going _very_ slowly. We've had some reports from users - usually depending on geography - of slow downloads of the cabal file Git repo. The snippet above will switch you into an HTTPS download, which may be faster.

Hi all,
I am tryning to install Stack on an 64-bit Ubuntu VM (Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS).
I have followed strictly all the steps that are mentioned in:
https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/install_and_upgrade/#ubuntu
the installation completes OK and I get the following stack version installed:
*$ stack --version* *Version 1.2.0, Git revision 241cd07d576d9c0c0e712e83d947e3dd64541c42 (4054 commits) x86_64 hpack-0.14.0*
But, when I run "stack setup" it tries to update package index and then it stucks there forever!
*$ stack setup* *Run from outside a project, using implicit global project config* *Using resolver: lts-7.11 from implicit global project's config file: /home/nikos/.stack/global-project/stack.yaml* *Updating package index Hackage (mirrored at https://github.com/commercialhaskell/all-cabal-hashes.git <https://github.com/commercialhaskell/all-cabal-hashes.git>) ...*
any suggestions?
thank you in advance!
Nikos
