I have been trying to install the SublimeHaskell package for SublimeText and every time I open SublimeText I get a popup error message saying:
Backend configuration: "Local hsdev"
Incompatible hsdev, detected version 0.0.0.0
Version should be >= 0.3.3.0 and < 0.3.4.0
I therefore tried running the command: cabal install hsdev and I get the following error
C:\WINDOWS\system32>cabal install hsdev
Warning: The package list for 'hackage.haskell.org' is 24 days old.
Run 'cabal update' to get the latest list of available packages.

I've tried re-installing cabal and it still won't let me download hsdev (I'm on a windows machine and installed the Haskell Platform using chocolatey), any suggestions?

What does the message "only already installed instances can be used" actually mean?
Unlike most packages, template-haskell can't be installed, upgraded, or downgraded separately from GHC. If you really need to downgrade to template-haskell-2.15.0.0, then you need to downgrade to GHC 8.8.4. https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/wikis/commentary/libraries/version-history has a chart that lets you check which GHC version corresponds to which library versions.
I am trying to install the specific version template-haskell-2.17.0.0. I run this command, but get an error during dependency resolution:

Some packages come with GHC and cannot be reinstalled. These are known as "boot" packages. The template-haskell package is one of these boot packages. You can find a complete list of them here: https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/wikis/commentary/libraries/version-history.
For your particular case, template-haskell-2.17.0.0 is part of GHC 9.0.2 (or 9.0.1). The only way to install that version of template-haskell is to use the appropriate version of GHC.
Based on the error output, I'm guessing that you're using some version of GHC 8.10.x, probably 8.10.7. You don't mention how you installed GHC, so I don't know exactly how to tell you to upgrade. If you used GHCup, then you should be able to upgrade GHC with this command:
ghcup install ghc 9.0.2 --set

I tried using cabal new-build and cabal install --only-dependencies but it still doesn´t work.
The program you're installing needs base 4.9.x.x, which means GHC 8.0.x. Your GHC is too new. Downgrade to 8.0.2, or look for a newer version of the program you're trying to install.

Cabal Dependency Failure: A story of two tools
You: Cabal! Install something old.
Cabal: Can do. And for my buddy GHC I will also record this something old in $HOME/.ghc/$arch-$ghc_version/environments/default.
You: Cabal! Install something else.
Cabal: Ok. Let me check what packages I should install for that. Yeah now I have that list... it says here I should install new thing - but an old version of new thing is mandated by the default environment.
Finding your way out
The Terminator
Screw the old environment, I don't care.
rm $HOME/.ghc/*/environments/default
The Librarian
I like my old environment, let's build this package with a new environment.
cabal install --package-env some-new-named-package-environment utf8-string
The Programmer
I like directory-based workflows and don't really want to think about environments, how about you think about that for me, cabal.
cabal install --lib utf8-string --package-env .
The Programmer (Summer 2020, I hope)
I like directory-based workflows and don't want to talk about environments. Luckily someone fixed the underlying issue https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/5559 so now I can just type cabal install --lib utf8-string.
I'm trying to build my Hakyll site using Travis-CI. However, before I even get that far, I have a dependencies error when trying to install Hakyll as a dependency.
I can build Hakyll locally on my machine with no problems. What might be causing the dependency error, and how can it be resolved? Is there a way to resolve it without actually hard-coding each dependency version?
Here's the output that comes from TravisCI.

[31;1mThe command "cabal install hakyll pandoc" failed and exited with 1 during .[0m
Your build has been stopped.
If there's any other output that would be useful, let me know and I can provide it.
The first thing to try if you get Backjump limit reached from cabal-install is to try again with the option --max-backjumps=-1 which means "search exhaustively", though if it then ends up taking tens of minutes you'd need to interrupt it or rely on the Travis-CI timeout. You can also use 500 or 1000 rather than -1 for a large but limited search - the default is 200.
If that doesn't work then try to pick out specific projects to constrain to a specific version with the option --constraint 'foo==0.1.0.0, preferably one that you actually know should be installable with the same GHC version.
In this particular case, the following two lines suggest that hakyll itself was at the root of the problem:
rejecting: mtl-2.2.1, 2.2.0.1, 2.2 (conflict: hakyll => mtl>=1 && <2.2)
rejecting: mtl-2.1.1, 2.1 (conflict: base==4.6.0.1/installed..., mtl => base<4.6)
In other words, base, which is tied to the GHC version, seems to require mtl>=2.2 (or perhaps less than 2.1 but I suspect that wouldn't have worked either). hakyll was requiring mtl<2.2, so there seemed to be a fundamental conflict implying that this version of hakyll wouldn't work this version of base.
