Discuss ghcup in tutorial installation instructions
The instructions as written will not work on Ubuntu systems, which provide an extremely out-of-date Haskell toolchain. Addresses issue https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/issues/1540 https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/issues/1540

`Nix <https://nixos.org/nix/>`_ users should feel free to take a look at
|
||||
the `nix/shell.nix` file in the repository and use it to provision a suitable
|
||||
environment to build and run the examples.

||||
Note for Ubuntu users
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu's packages for `ghc`, `cabal`, and `stack` are years out of date.
|
||||
If the instructions above fail for you,
|
||||
try replacing the Ubuntu packages with up-to-date versions.
|
||||
First remove the installed versions:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
# remove the obsolete versions
|
||||
$ sudo apt remove ghc haskell-stack cabal-install
|
||||
|
||||
Then install fresh versions of the Haskell toolchain
|
||||
using the `ghcup <https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/install/>`_ installer.
|
||||
|
||||
As of February 2022, one easy way to do this is by running a bootstrap script:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
$ curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://get-ghcup.haskell.org | sh
|
||||
|
||||
The script is interactive and will prompt you for details about what
|
||||
you want installed and where. To install manually,
|
||||
see `the detailed instructions <https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/install/#manual-install>`_.
