After cloning the repo and running cabal install -j. I'm installing on fedora 27.
[user@desktop herms]$ cabal install -j

Ah! This is a problem that we've encountered before... vty-5.15.1 is one of Herm's dependencies, I see you've found its repository. @PhilipNelson5 was able to solve this problem, I believe. I'll get in touch with him!
This seems like a tough one to hash out, and something that will be affected by local installation differences... In the meantime, I recommend installation through stack, instead:
cd herms
stack update
stack install
Edit: Especially if you're going to be hacking away at Herm's, stack is the way to go!
Ah I didn't realize I could use stack as well. Might be good to point it out in the readme because cabal has failed on almost everything I have tried it on and stack always works.
Yeah, I realized that too and have now updated the readme! Contributing.md has some other good stuff for you too since you'll be hacking away.
Good luck! Thanks for your interest :D Let me know if you have questions!
