24−To use `elm` and `elm-server` you may need to add a new directory to your PATH.
26−Cabal should tell you where your executables are located upon
27−successful installation. It'll be something like `/home/evan/.cabal/bin`
28−which you should append to your PATH variable.
29−See this tutorial if you are new to changing your PATH in

34−Now we will create a simple Elm project.
35−The following commands will set-up a very basic project and start the Elm server.
39− printf "import Mouse\n\nmain = lift asText Mouse.position" > Main.elm
42−The first two commands create a new directory and navigate into it. The `printf`
43−commands place a simple program into `Main.elm`. Do this manually if you do not
44−have `printf`. The final command starts the Elm server at [localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000/),
45−allowing you to navigate to `Main.elm` and see your first program in action.
49−The `elm` package provides
50−[some utility functions](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/Elm) for
51−working with Elm in Haskell. This can be useful for creating tooling
52−for Elm, and has been useful for projects like
