Can't run kitten outside of source directory about kitten HOT 2 OPEN

This should be fixed in 4712cfe and I will update the instructions in the book as well. Please confirm that this works for you so I can close this.

I’ve added a note to the installation instructions:

Currently, you will also need to manually copy the standard library, referred to as the common vocabulary, common.ktn, to the same location.

This is due to a deficiency in Stack’s support of Cabal’s data-files feature, where if you install data files (such as common.ktn) with stack install, they’ll have the wrong path prefix: it searches for them in the build directory instead of the install location. So I haven’t been using data-files as a result.

I’ll see if I can add support for this with Cabal builds and add instructions for installing using Cabal, although ideally we’d be able to do everything through just Stack. If I can’t get that to work, I’ll just add a Makefile with a make install target.
