* `stack` must be in your PATH
* `git` must be in your PATH
* Stack local bin directory must be in your PATH. Get it with `stack path --local-bin`
* To make hlint suggestions work, `hie` must locate the [hlint configuration yaml file](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ndmitchell/hlint/master/data/hlint.yaml). As last resort it will look for it in a subdirectory named `data` in the same directory where the `hie` executable is.
* To make hlint suggestions work, `hie` must locate the [hlint configuration yaml file](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ndmitchell/hlint/master/data/hlint.yaml). The file is searched in order in the following locations:
* In the directory pointed by the environment variable `$HLINT_DATADIR`.
* If hie was installed using stack or cabal, in a tool-specific internal installation directory.
* And finally in a subdirectory named `data` inside the directory where the `hie` executable is.
