## I want to build the latest release (0.27)

**with stack** (most reliable, recommended)

1. Install [`stack`](http://haskellstack.org)
    (On Windows, the 64-bit version is [recommended](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/issues/275).)
    <!-- needed if you will be processing >50,000 transactions at once -->
2. `stack setup`
    (if you need GHC installed. If you're not sure, run the next command and it will tell you.)
3. `stack install hledger [hledger-ui] [hledger-web]`
4. Ensure `~/.local/bin` or the Windows equivalent is in your `$PATH`,
   so that you can just type `hledger` to run it.
   (stack will show the proper directory and will tell you if it is not in $PATH).

Eg, on a mac:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://asciinema.org/a/29672.js" id="asciicast-29672" async></script>

**with cabal** (results will vary, recommended only if you can't install stack):

1. Install [GHC](http://haskell.org/ghc) and [cabal](http://haskell.org/cabal/download.html) if needed.
2. Ensure `~/.cabal/bin` or the Windows equivalent is in your `$PATH`.
3. `cabal update`
4. `cabal install alex happy`
5. `mkdir hledger-sandbox`
6. `cd hledger-sandbox`
7. `cabal sandbox init`
8. `cabal install hledger[-ui|-web]` (On Windows, hledger-ui is [not yet supported](https://github.com/coreyoconnor/vty/pull/1).)
9. Ensure this `.../hledger-sandbox/.cabal-sandbox/bin` is in your `$PATH` (or move its contents to ~/.cabal/bin).

## I want to build the [unreleased git version](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/commits/master)

1. `git clone http://code.hledger.org hledger`
2. `cd hledger`
3. `stack install`
