+Using cabal
+===========
+
+Create the example site:
+
+    hakyll-init my-site
 
-This creates a folder `my-site` in the current directory, with some example
-content and a generic configuration.
+If `hakyll-init` is not found, make sure `~/.ghcup/env` is sourced.
 
-If `hakyll-init` is not found, you should make sure your stack bin path
-(usually `$HOME/.local/bin`) is in your `$PATH`. You can check your stack local
-bin path by running `stack path --local-bin`.
+In the `my-site` directory, you can use `cabal new-install` to install the
+`site` executable (which builds your website).  Alternatively, you can just
+use `cabal new-run site [command]`.
+
+You can build the site using:
+
+    my-site build
+
+And preview (and build) it using:
+
+    my-site watch
