Haskell Data Analysis Cookbook - Package List

# I intend this to be a readable/executable script for installing all
# the packages discussed in "Haskell Data Analysis Cookbook" by
# Nishant Shukla

# Use cabal > 1.18 since I use sandboxes for the code here
# I use sandboxes because I have found that package conflicts 
# (mostly because of version number issues) are terribe to deal with
# in Haskell. Use a script like the one in 
# https://gist.github.com/cstrahan/8984109
# to use the sandbox's package db. The gist works for me in zsh.

# Run in the root of the directory you maintain examples from this 
# book.

cabal sandbox init

# I will fill in this gist as and when I finish chapters in the book

# Chapter 1
