-------------

+One of the easiest is the hledger-install script, which requires only
-build and install the hledger tools in $HOME/.local/bin/.
+bash and will build and install the hledger tools in $HOME/.local/bin/:
-(Note: building haskell apps can take significant time, memory, and
-disk space, especially the first time.  You can kill and restart the
-installer without losing progress.  If it fails, please help us
-improve it by reporting the full output):
 
 $ curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/simonmichael/hledger/master/hledger-install/hledger-install.sh
 $ less hledger-install.sh # (do security review)
 $ bash hledger-install.sh # (add -v for more detail; use bash -x to show commands being run)

 $ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/simonmichael/hledger/master/hledger-install/hledger-install.sh | bash
 
-Using stack:
+After installation, ensure $HOME/.local/bin is in your $PATH, and try some commands:
-
-$ stack install hledger-lib-1.9 hledger-1.9  # hledger-ui-1.9 hledger-web-1.9 hledger-api-1.9
-
-Using cabal:
-
-$ cabal update
-$ cabal install hledger-1.9  # hledger-ui-1.9 hledger-web-1.9 hledger-api-1.9
-
-After installation, ensure $HOME/.local/bin is in your $PATH. 
-Now try some commands:
 
 $ hledger -h            # quick help
 $ hledger help          # list built-in manuals
 $ hledger add           # record some transactions
