I have installed GHC 9.0.1 on Debian 12 and “cabal –version” yields:

$ cabal --version
cabal-install version 3.6.2.0
compiled using version 3.6.3.0 of the Cabal library 

I have started following the Cabal documentation guide, and when I run:

$ cabal init myapp --non-interactive

It throws back the error:

cabal: 'init' doesn't take any extra arguments: myapp

Not sure what the issue is, but it would appear that the “cabal init” command isn’t expecting any additional parameters, therefore you can’t create a project in this way. I guess it could have been changed or removed in newer versions or something like that, but I’m not sure.
There also appears to be no manual for Cabal, only the “–help” flag which is very minimal and only for quick reference.

I can easily generate a .cabal file and structure using the current working directory by simply using cabal init, but I would like to be able generate a new project tree using “cabal init ” as instructed in the guide.

Any idea as to why this isn’t working for me?
