## I want to build the current release
**with stack** (easiest, recommended):
1. Install [`stack`](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/blob/master/doc/install_and_upgrade.md)
(On Windows, the 64-bit version is [recommended](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/issues/275).)
2. `stack setup`
(if you need GHC installed. If you're not sure, run the next command and it will tell you.)
3. `stack --resolver nightly install hledger` (installs just the command-line interface), or\
`stack --resolver nightly install hledger-web` (installs both CLI and web interface)\
*2015/11/3: hledger-ui has [not yet reached stackage](https://github.com/fpco/stackage/issues/938); you must install it from source or with cabal, see below.*
4. Ensure `~/.local/bin` or the Windows equivalent is in your `$PATH`,
so that you can just type `hledger` to run it.
(stack will show the proper directory and will tell you if it is not in $PATH).
**with cabal** (results will vary, not recommended for non-experts):
1. Install [GHC](http://haskell.org/ghc) and [cabal](http://haskell.org/cabal/download.html) if needed.
2. Ensure `~/.cabal/bin` or the Windows equivalent is in your `$PATH`.
3. `cabal update`
4. `cabal install alex happy`
5. `cabal sandbox init`
6. `cabal install hledger[-ui|-web]` (On Windows, hledger-ui is [not yet supported](https://github.com/coreyoconnor/vty/pull/1).)
## I want to build the [latest source](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/commits/master)
1. `git clone http://code.hledger.org hledger`
2. `cd hledger`
3. `stack install`
or see the [Developer Guide](http://hledger.org/developer-guide.html) for more help.
