Installer fails on macOS High Sierra

[tfausak]

Stack's installer fails on the macOS High Sierra developer beta because /usr/local/bin doesn't exist.

install: /usr/local/bin/stack: No such file or directory
Install to /usr/local/bin/stack failed

Running sudo mkdir /usr/local/bin and then re-running the installer fixes it.

Thanks for the report! Pinging @borsboom

@tfausak Is /usr/local/bin in the default user PATH?

[tfausak]

I don't have that machine handy, but I think /usr/local/bin is in the $PATH by default.

[borsboom]

Ok, and looks like get.haskellstack.org already checks for presence in the PATH and warns if it is not there.

I am getting the same error. I am guessing it's fixed as you closed the issue?

[borsboom]

It means the fix is on master but not necessarily released yet.
