[Agda] how to run helloworld in agda

I've been following this thread and also had trouble getting hello world to
work even with the advice given so far.  Here's what worked for me.

My work is in /Users/leo/agda.  Here are the commands with the full paths
for clarity.  First I run

agda -i/Users/leo/agda -i/Users/leo/agda/agda-stdlib-0.11/src --compile
/users/leo/agda/Hello.agda

This gives an error:

Calling: ghc -O -o /Users/leo/agda/Hello -Werror -i/Users/leo/agda -main-is
MAlonzo.Code.Hello /Users/leo/agda/MAlonzo/Code/Hello.hs --make
-fwarn-incomplete-patterns -fno-warn-overlapping-patterns
Compilation error:

MAlonzo/Code/Foreign/Haskell.hs:4:18:
    Could not find module ‘Data.FFI’
    Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.

MAlonzo/Code/Foreign/Haskell.hs:5:18:
    Could not find module ‘IO.FFI’
    Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.

Trying to add FFI as follows does not pass the flag correctly to GHC:

agda -i/Users/leo/agda -i/Users/leo/agda/agda-stdlib-0.11/src
-i/Users/leo/agda/agda-stdlib-0.11/ffi --compile /users/leo/agda/Hello.agda

So I had to add it and run ghc manually:

ghc -O -o /Users/leo/agda/Hello -Werror -i/Users/leo/agda
-i/Users/leo/agda/agda-stdlib-0.11/ffi  -main-is MAlonzo.Code.Hello
/Users/leo/agda/MAlonzo/Code/Hello.hs --make -fwarn-incomplete-patterns
-fno-warn-overlapping-patterns

This finally worked!  Note that I removed the "module XX where" line from
Hello.agda and it worked in that form.

I think Agda has to win the award as the serious language which requires
the most work to write hello world.
