Packaged versions are the quickest to install, but they sometimes lag behind the
latest release, or provide only some of the hledger tools. (Packagers welcome!)

## B. I want to build the latest release
The latest release (see [release notes](release-notes.html)) is a good choice.
You have to build it, but normally that should be quite easy:
1. **Install [`stack`](http://haskell-lang.org/get-started)**\
Note some packaged versions of stack are too old and will give ["Invalid package ID"](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/issues/513) in step 2
(and their builtin "upgrade" command will be slow); in this case consider downloading the binary instead.\
On Windows, the 64-bit version is [recommended](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/issues/275#issuecomment-123834252).\
On Arch, you [may need to also install GHC manually](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/issues/434).\
You should also add [~/.local/bin (or Windows equivalent)](https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/install_and_upgrade/#path)
to your \$PATH so that you can easily run stack-installed tools.
Eg if you're a bash user:\
`echo "export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin" >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc`
2. **`stack install hledger-lib-1.2 hledger-1.2 [hledger-ui-1.2] [hledger-web-1.2] [hledger-api-1.2]`**\
Note specifying the version as above forces stack to select exactly this version,
which is sometimes necessary just after a release;
at other times the following command may be preferable
[to](https://www.stackage.org/package/hledger-lib)
[get](https://www.stackage.org/package/hledger)
[any](https://www.stackage.org/package/hledger-ui)
[newer](https://www.stackage.org/package/hledger-web)
[versions](https://www.stackage.org/package/hledger-api):\
`stack install --resolver=nightly hledger [hledger-ui] [hledger-web] [hledger-api]`\
If stack says you need to run `stack setup`, do that first.\
Don't type the square brackets; they mean that hledger-ui etc. are optional.\
On Windows, hledger-ui is [not yet available](https://github.com/coreyoconnor/vty/pull/1).\
If required C libraries (like curses or terminfo) are not installed, you might need to install those manually and try again.
Eg:
|
|-----------------|-----------------------------------
| Debian, Ubuntu: | `sudo apt install libncurses5-dev`
| Fedora, RHEL: | `sudo dnf install ncurses-devel`
If you're a [`cabal`](https://www.haskell.org/cabal/) expert, feel free to use that instead of stack, adapting these instructions appropriately.
Now you should be able to run `hledger --version`, `hledger-ui --version` etc.
<!--(The exact steps depend on your OS, cabal version and expertise.)-->
<!--
Short version:\
`cabal update && cabal install hledger [hledger-ui] [hledger-web] [hledger-api]`
-->
<!--
If you're brand new to cabal, these steps should work on unix-like systems
(on Windows, adjust commands and paths as needed):
1. Install [GHC](http://haskell.org/ghc) and [cabal](http://haskell.org/cabal/download.html) if needed,
eg from [https://www.haskell.org/downloads](https://www.haskell.org/downloads)
2. Ensure `~/.cabal/bin` or the Windows equivalent is in your `$PATH`,
eg `echo "export PATH=$PATH:~/.cabal/bin" >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc`
3. `cabal update`
4. `cabal install alex happy`
5. `mkdir hledger-sandbox`
6. `cd hledger-sandbox`
7. `cabal sandbox init`
8. `cabal install hledger-1.0.1 [hledger-ui-1.0.2] [hledger-web-1.0.1] [hledger-api-1.0]`
9. `mv .cabal-sandbox/bin/hledger* ~/.cabal/bin`
10. `cd ..; rm -rf hledger-sandbox`

## C. I want to build the development version
The [dev version](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/commits/master) includes not-yet-released features and is stable enough for daily use.
1. **Install [`stack`](http://haskell-lang.org/get-started) and [git](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git)**
(see notes in B above)
2. **`git clone http://code.hledger.org hledger`**
3. **`cd hledger`**
4. **`stack install`**
Cabal users can use the `cabal-install.sh` or `cabal.project` files instead.

## D. I want to install more commands
Additional [add-on commands](/hledger.html#third-party-add-ons)
can be installed. Eg:\
`stack install hledger-iadd-1.2.1` or `stack install --resolver nightly hledger-iadd`.
More, [experimental add-ons](/hledger.html#experimental-add-ons) are
included in the hledger source repo; to install these:
1. **Download the hledger source code** (as in C above)
2. **In the hledger directory, run `bin/compile.sh`** (installs dependencies & compiles for speed)
3. **Add the `hledger/bin/` directory to your `$PATH`** (as in B above)
Now you should be able to run `hledger iadd --version`, `hledger check --help` etc.
