Ways to get the `cabal-install` binary

GHCup (preferred): get GHCup using the directions on its website and run:
```
ghcup install --set cabal latest
```
Download from official website: the cabal-install binary download for your platform should contain the cabal executable.

With cabal-install: if you have a pre-existing version of cabal-install, run:
```
cabal install cabal-install
```
to get the latest version of cabal-install. (You may want to cabal update first.)
From Git: again with a pre-existing version of cabal-install, you can install the latest version from the Git repository. Clone the Git repository, move to its root, and run:
```
cabal install --project-file=cabal.project.release cabal-install
```
Bootstrapping: if you don't have a pre-existing version of cabal-install, look into the bootstrap directory.
