-I suggest using cabal sandbox.

-Steps:
-
-clone the repo; cd functorrent;
-
-1. cabal sandbox init
-2. wget http://www.stackage.org/lts/cabal.config
-3. cabal install --only-dependencies --enable-tests

-Goals
------
-
-- Become more profient with Haskell.
-- Implement something non-trivial with Haskell (crypto, file operations, network
-  operations, concurrency, bit twiddling, DHT).
-- Follow the spec - https://wiki.theory.org/BitTorrentSpecification
-- Easy for newbies like me to read and understand along side the spec.
-- doctest and quickcheck tests.
-- Follow Haskell Style Guide - https://github.com/tibbe/haskell-style-guide/blob/master/haskell-style.md
-
-Current Status
---------------
-
-- can decode torrent files (bencoding)
-- talk to the tracker and get the peer list
-- the `main' program takes a torrent file (in the local file system) as input and
-  prints the {ip,port} for each peer, after talking to the tracker.
-
-TODO
-----
-
-- Test suite.
-- Peer protocol.
-- Get the file download working in the simplest possible way.
-- Concurrency (threads per peer)
-- other advanced features of Bit Torrent (like DHT).
