## I want to build the latest release
**Using the stack tool** (easiest, recommended):
*SNAPSHOT for 0.27 will be announced when ready, until then use cabal or see "build the latest master branch" below*
1. Install [`stack`](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/wiki/Downloads)
(on Windows, you should choose the 64-bit stack download if you will be
processing >50,000 transactions at a time with hledger, cf [#275](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/issues/275)).
**Using stack** (easiest, recommended):\
*2015/11/3: but hledger-ui has not yet reached stackage; you must install it from source (see below) or with cabal*
1. Install [`stack`](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/blob/master/doc/install_and_upgrade.md)
(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 --resolver SNAPSHOT install hledger` (the command-line UI), or\
`stack --resolver SNAPSHOT install hledger-ui` (the terminal UI; not available on Windows; includes the above), or\
`stack --resolver SNAPSHOT install hledger-web` (the web UI; includes the above)
4. stack will report where it installed the binaries (`~/.local/bin` or the Windows equivalent).
You should ensure this directory is in your `$PATH` (stack will let you know),
3. `stack --resolver nightly-2015-11-02 install hledger` (the command-line interface), or\
`stack --resolver nightly-2015-11-02 install hledger-web` (the web interface; also installs the CLI)\
<!-- `stack --resolver nightly-2015-11-02 install hledger-ui` (the curses-style interfaces; not available on Windows; also installs the CLI), or\ -->
4. Ensure `~/.local/bin` or the Windows equivalent is in your `$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).
**Without stack,** the process is much more variable; this is most likely to work:
**Using cabal** (results will vary, not recommended for non-experts):
1. Install [GHC](http://haskell.org/ghc) and [cabal](http://haskell.org/cabal/download.html) if needed
2. `cabal update`
