If not, please report the problem, then install the `Haskell Platform`_ and type::
cabal update
cabal install hledger [-fvty] [-fweb]
cabal install hledger
The optional -f flags will install more libraries and enable hledger's
"ui" and "web" commands respectively. Note -fvty may not work on Microsoft
windows.
You can add some options to the install step to build extra hledger features:
- Add ``-fvty`` to build the `ui <#ui>`_ command. This is not available on microsoft windows.
- Add ``-fweb`` to build the `web <#web>`_ command. With some versions
of the haskell platform, you may need to help cabal figure out the
dependencies. This worked for me with haskell platform 2009.2.0.2 on
windows::
cabal install hledger -fweb --constraint="haskell-src-meta < 0.0.6" --constraint="syb-with-class < 0.6.1"
