I'm on Windows\ Download, unzip, and run: hledger-0.25.windows.zip hledger-web-0.25.windows.zip I'm on Mac\ Use cabal (see below) Building and supporting Windows and Mac binaries is costly, so it's demand-driven - you can indicate demand by making a project donation of any size. Binaries funded in this way will be linked here. This is a quick way to help the project and your fellow users!

I want to build the latest release with GHC and cabal

cabal install alex happy (if you don't already have these in your path)
cabal sandbox init; cabal update; cabal install hledger-web (use cabal 1.20+)\

Or just cabal install hledger if you don't need the web interface.
The Installation Guide describes how to install using cabal in more detail.
Release Notes shows what's new in the hledger packages.
