notebook environment with one command. For example:
```bash
$ nix-build -I nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels/archive/nixos-19.09.tar.gz release.nix --argstr compiler ghc865 --arg packages "haskellPackages: [ haskellPackages.lens ]"

The IHaskell display modules are not loaded by default and have to be specified as additional packages:
```bash
$ NIXPKGS_ALLOW_BROKEN=1 nix-build -I nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels/archive/nixos-19.09.tar.gz release.nix --argstr compiler ghc844 --arg packages "haskellPackages: [ haskellPackages.ihaskell-blaze haskellPackages.ihaskell-charts ]"

```
We use GHC 8.4 here because not all dependencies have been updated to support GHC 8.6 yet.
