Cabal install command Gives error

I can't understand why it just dosen't work. My question is what might have gone wrong i have created the ~/.bash_profile and tried to add the PATH given by the haskell webpage.

When i preform cabal install i get this output:

Marcuss-MacBook-Pro:~ marcuslagerstedt$ cabal install
cabal: Error reading local package.
Couldn't find .cabal file in: .
Marcuss-MacBook-Pro:~ marcuslagerstedt$

I hope i did a correct question.
But i really need help aswell.

You seem to be wanting to install a particular package, namely agda. The command cabal install takes either the name of a package or assumes you are installing some package in the local directory. You are hitting this second case.

To install agda try:

cabal update
cabal install agda
