## I want to build the latest released version
<!-- **with stack** (recommended; or, you can use cabal) -->
The latest release may be newer than your OS's packaged version.
(Here are the latest [release notes](release-notes.html).)
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]`
(hledger-ui is not supported on Windows)
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 $PATH).
1. Install [`stack`](http://haskellstack.org).
On Windows, the 64-bit version is [recommended](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/issues/275).
2. `stack setup` to ensure you have the required version of [GHC](https://www.haskell.org/ghc).
3. `stack install hledger [hledger-ui] [hledger-web]`\
hledger-ui and hledger-web take longer to build. hledger-ui is not buildable on Windows.
4. If stack warns that `~/.local/bin` or the Windows equivalent is not in your `$PATH`,
configure that, so that the command `hledger` will work.
Eg if you're a bash user:\
`echo "export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin" >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc`
Or use [`cabal`](https://www.haskell.org/cabal/) if you prefer and know how.
It's harder to use and to support, so these docs focus on stack.
**Note:** Haskell builds can fail due to missing C libraries or headers, which stack/cabal can not install.
If you have this problem, here are some C libs you might need (updates welcome):

## I want to build the [latest development version](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/commits/master)
This includes the latest features and is normally stable enough for daily use; recommended.
<!-- See also the [Developer Guide](http://hledger.org/developer-guide.html). -->
1. `git clone http://code.hledger.org hledger`
2. `cd hledger`
3. `stack install [hledger] [hledger-ui] [hledger-web] [hledger-api]`
cabal users, try `./cabal-install.sh` instead.
<!--
**with cabal** (results will vary, recommended only if you can't install stack):
Detailed cabal instructions:
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`

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).
