## 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 that's pretty easy.
You have to build it, but normally that should be quite easy:
1. Install [`stack`](http://haskell-lang.org/get-started).
On Windows, the 64-bit version is [recommended](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/issues/275#issuecomment-123834252).
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).\
<small>(If you're a [`cabal`](https://www.haskell.org/cabal/) expert, feel free to use that instead, adapting these instructions appropriately.)</small>
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 --resolver=nightly hledger [hledger-ui] [hledger-web] [hledger-api]`\
Note you don't type the square brackets; they mean "this bit is optional".
So eg if you don't care about the web tools, you would type `stack install --resolver=nightly hledger hledger-ui`\
On Windows, hledger-ui is [not yet available](https://github.com/coreyoconnor/vty/pull/1).\
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.\
Warnings about "No packages found in snapshot which provide a "hsc2hs" executable" can be ignored.\
If required C libraries (like curses) are not installed, you might need to install those manually and try again, eg:
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`
|-----------------|-----------------------------------
| 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.
3. If stack warns that `~/.local/bin` (or the Windows equivalent) is not in `$PATH`, fix that.
Eg if you're a bash user:\
`echo "export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin" >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc`\
Now you can run `hledger --version`, `hledger-ui --version` etc.

The [dev version](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/commits/master) includes not-yet-released features and is stable enough for daily use.

## D. I want to install all add-on commands
Some experimental commands are not built in to hledger, but
[included in the source](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/tree/master/bin) as
[add-on commands](http://hledger.org/hledger.html#add-on-commands), such as:\
`chart`,
`check-dates`,
`check-dupes`,
`equity`,
`print-unique`,
`register-match`,
`rewrite`.
Additional [add-on commands](http://hledger.org/hledger.html#add-on-commands) can be installed with stack
(hledger-diff,
hledger-iadd,
hledger-interest,
hledger-irr), as in B above.
Eg: `stack install hledger-iadd-1.2.1` or `stack install --resolver nightly hledger-iadd`.
To install these and make them available in hledger's commands list:
Others, more experimental, are [included](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/tree/master/bin)
in the hledger source repo; to install these:
1. Install [`stack`](http://haskell-lang.org/get-started) and [git](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git) (see above)
2. `git clone http://code.hledger.org hledger` (as above)
3. `cd hledger`
4. `bin/compile.sh` (optional, makes them start faster)
5. add the hledger `bin/` directory to your `$PATH`
1. **Download the hledger source code** (as in C above)
2. **In the hledger directory, run `bin/compile.sh`** (installs dependencies, compiles for speed)
3. **Add the `hledger/bin/` directory to your `$PATH`** (as in B above)
There is also a `hledger-autosync` symbolic link showing how to make
the [ledger-autosync](https://gitlab.com/egh/ledger-autosync) tool available
as a hledger command.
Other commands are published as separate packages:\
`hledger-diff`,
`hledger-iadd`,
`hledger-interest`,
`hledger-irr`.
Some are available in Stackage and can be installed with stack as in B above:
`stack install --resolver nightly hledger-iadd hledger-interest`
Others are available only on Hackage, so you must specify the Hackage version number. Eg:
`stack install hledger-diff-0.2.0.7 hledger-irr-0.1.1.10`
Now you should be able to run `hledger iadd --version`, `hledger check --help` etc.
