11+Getting Started
12+---------------
13+
14+As this project is just starting, we don't really have a solid set of steps. In
15+general, the following set of commands should be good for getting started:
16+
17+ cabal update
18+ cabal install cabal-dev
19+ git clone https://github.com/snoyberg/stackage
20+ cd stackage
21+ git submodule update --init # get the Haskell Platform files
22+ runghc app/stackage.hs build # takes a *long* time
23+ runghc app/stackage.hs init # modifies your ~/.cabal/config file
