I did, got the following error :
Installing GHC-8.6.5 for Darwin on architecture x86_64
usage: mktemp [-d] [-q] [-t prefix] [-u] template ...
mktemp [-d] [-q] [-u] -t prefix
Failed to create temporary directory
"ghcup --cache install" failed!
@WGT Ah, I see.
Could you try just doing this please: mktemp -d
That’s the command that the script is trying to run. I think that command shouldn’t normally fail.
usage: mktemp [-d] [-q] [-t prefix] [-u] template ...
mktemp [-d] [-q] [-u] -t prefix
No error message
Thanks, I think we have uncovered a bug in the ghcup installation script. Am I right that your MacOS installation is a little old?
You are absolutely right about that ! I can’t update to a more recent OS due to a few things I have on this thare are compatible up to 10.9 only.
Does that mean I can’t install Tidal on 10.9 ? If so sorry if I have wasted your time.
No you’re not wasting time! You’ve uncovered a bug in the Haskell install. I’ve proposed a fix to the haskell people https://github.com/haskell/ghcup/pull/101/commits/1dee527e9eb4954b8595ba7d7175bdea7370c049
Just working out how you can test this…
Ok try this @WQT:
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yaxu/ghcup/patch-1/ghcup -o ~/.ghcup/bin/ghcup
chmod u+x .ghcup/bin/ghcup
ghcup --cache install
ghcup set
ghcup --cache install-cabal
(ignore the colour highlighting, just paste those lines in, probably best to paste them in line-by-line, waiting for them to run each time)
Thank you !
I tried your previous commands, it worked until the last one failed again
ghcup --cache install-cabal
same error as before : Failed to create temporary directory
Hm, does this work?
mktemp -d -t ghcup.XXXXXXXX
Or this?
~/.ghcup/bin/ghcup --cache install-cabal
This one does
And this one fails. How strange
Ah my fault I think, one sec
Ok, try running this again:
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yaxu/ghcup/patch-1/ghcup -o ~/.ghcup/bin/ghcup
chmod u+x .ghcup/bin/ghcup
ghcup --cache install
ghcup set
ghcup --cache install-cabal
Successfully installed cabal-install
It worked ! Thank you so much for sticking around and solving this. 
I am going to go on with the Tidal installation.
Great, perhaps re-running the tidal-bootstrap script will work now
I reran the bootstrap and indeed it works fine. Thank you again.
Hello, I’ve actually go just one issue when installing tidal but anyway I’ve tried all solutions you’ve posted , I reach you out at another thread and now I narrowed down the error message to this outcome:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> cabal install tidal

I realy want to start making music , lol, I’m sure you are the only one who can help me out whit this mess.
Best regards.
Hm, something is wrong with your haskell install, how have you installed it?
You could try with there instructions, if you haven’t already

Thank you very much for the fast answer! T_T
Yes, in fact many times…
when I run the command lines
choco install haskell-dev
refreshenv
and try cabal install tidal I get this promt

I’m not sure what I did wrong along the process, I’m pretty sure I followed all steps carefully D=
I’m having similar issues, and this is after editing the cabal config file as mentioned elsewhere.
