Stack

Stack has a good documentation about the installation process on different platforms that you can refer to learn to install it on your computer.

Creating the project

We first need to install yesod-bin and cabal:

stack install yesod-bin-1.4.16.1 cabal-install

Then, we initialize the project:

stack exec yesod init

Yesod will ask a few questions about the project. Here are the answers:

Project name: flora
Database option: p

And create the stack.yaml file:

cd flora
stack init

At last we need to get the project dependencies and, just to be safe, rebuild yesod-bin with the current GHC:

stack build yesod-bin-1.4.16.1 .

And now we are good to run the project:

stack exec yesod devel
