Haskell Language Cabal Working with sandboxes
Example
A Haskell project can either use the system wide packages or use a sandbox. A sandbox is an isolated package database and can prevent dependency conflicts, e. g. if multiple Haskell projects use different versions of a package.
To initialize a sandbox for a Haskell package go to its directory and run:
cabal sandbox init
Now packages can be installed by simply running cabal install.
Listing packages in a sandbox:
cabal sandbox hc-pkg list
Deleting a sandbox:
cabal sandbox delete
Add local dependency:
cabal sandbox add-source /path/to/dependency
