 ### Quick cabal method
 
-1.  Install the [Haskell platform].  This will give you [GHC] and
-    the [cabal-install] build tool.  Note that pandoc requires
-    GHC >= 7.10 and cabal >= 2.0.

-3.  Check your cabal version with
-
-        cabal --version

-5.  By default `pandoc` uses the "i;unicode-casemap" method
-    to sort bibliography entries (RFC 5051).  If you would like to
-    use the locale-sensitive unicode collation algorithm instead,
-    specify the `icu` flag (which affects the dependency `citeproc`):
-
-        cabal install pandoc -ficu
-
-    Note that this requires the `text-icu` library, which in turn
-    depends on the C library `icu4c`.  Installation directions
-    vary by platform.  Here is how it might work on macOS with Homebrew:
-
-        brew install icu4c
-        stack install pandoc \

-6.  The `pandoc.1` man page will be installed automatically.  cabal shows
-    you where it is installed: you may need to set your `MANPATH`
-    accordingly. If `MANUAL.txt` has been modified, the man page can be
-    rebuilt: `make man/pandoc.1`.
+5.  Cabal does not install the `pandoc.1` man page, but you can
+    copy it from the `man/` directory of the source code to
+    `/usr/local/share/man/man1/` or wherever man pages go on
+    your system.
