Yes, I think some docs do need updating. Since I knew that pandoc is a Haskell package, I looked for it on Hackage (installing through package managers like Macports or Brew was really unattractive, especially since I already have a working Haskell installation, and don't want the tidbits that Brew or Macports would install, mess it up). So, my preferred install way for Haskell package zzz is cabal install zzz (unsurprisingly).

Hackage seemed to show for pandoc that pandoc-2.19.2 is the latest. Today it does show pandoc 3.0.1, but installation instructions are empty: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/pandoc-3.0.1/INSTALL.md

Though after much digging, and being armed with your info about pandoc-cli, I found this command somewhere at the bottom of some README page. And cabal install pandoc-cli succeeded.

Thanks!

With 3.x, you need to

cabal install pandoc-cli

It may be that there are some docs that need updating?

The command "cabal install [TARGETS]" doesn't expose libraries.

* You might have wanted to add them as dependencies to your package. In this

case add "pandoc, pandoc" to the build-depends field(s) of your package's

.cabal file.

* You might have wanted to add them to a GHC environment. In this case use

"cabal install --lib pandoc pandoc". The "--lib" flag is provisional: see

https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/6481 for more information.
