Installed TidalCycles following this guide [MacOS | Tidal Cycles](https://tidalcycles.org/docs/getting-started/macos_install)  
and this guy [Video 3: Getting Started with Tidal Cycles - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMT4Ux-yVdU)

I’m on a Mac, using atom. When booting tidal I get this error:

: error:  
Could not find module ‘Sound.Tidal.Context’  
It is not a module in the current program, or in any known package.

Not sure how to go about this

That means: tidal is not installed.  
Try to execute these lines from the terminal:

```auto
cabal update
cabal install tidal --lib

```

This didn’t work. ☹
