Hello @cblp ,

thanks for adding that. In my tests it didn't work with just the installdir command.
Also doing a build and then an install (which is: config, build and install) is misleading and a waste of time.
See also forum.cardano.org.

My proposal is the following much cleaner version:

cabal update \
&& echo "package cardano-crypto-praos" >> cabal.project.local \
&& echo " flags: -external-libsodium-vrf" >> cabal.project.local \
&& cabal install cardano-node cardano-cli --enable-optimization=2 \
--install-method=copy \
--installdir= ~/.local/bin \
--with-compiler=ghc-8.10.2 \
&& cardano-cli --version \
&& cardano-node --version;

You should also be able to add the install command (--with-compiler=ghc-8.10.2).
