# Download
## A. I want to download a packaged version
|
|--------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| **Windows** | Download and run [hledger-0.26-win64.exe](http://hledger.org/downloads/hledger-0.26-win64.exe) & [hledger-web-0.26-win64.exe](http://hledger.org/downloads/hledger-web-0.26-win64.exe) (old), or the [latest development builds](developer-guide.html). hledger-ui does not run on Windows.
| **Mac** | `brew install hledger`
hledger-ui/hledger-web have not yet been added to homebrew.
| **Debian, Ubuntu** | `sudo apt install hledger hledger-ui hledger-web`
| **Fedora, RHEL** | `sudo dnf install hledger`
hledger-ui/hledger-web have not yet been added to Fedora.
| **Gentoo** | `sudo layman -a haskell && sudo emerge hledger hledger-ui hledger-web`
| **NixOS** | `nix-env -iA nixpkgs.haskellPackages.hledger \`
`nixpkgs.haskellPackages.hledger-ui \`
`nixpkgs.haskellPackages.hledger-web`
## B. I want to build the latest released version
The latest release may be newer than your OS's packaged version.
Here are the latest [release notes](release-notes.html).
1. Install [`stack`](http://haskellstack.org) to make building easier.
On Windows, the 64-bit version is [recommended](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/issues/275#issuecomment-123834252).
2. `stack setup`\
to ensure you have a suitable version of [GHC](https://www.haskell.org/ghc).
3. `stack install hledger [hledger-ui] [hledger-web]`\
hledger-ui and hledger-web take longer to build. hledger-ui is not buildable on Windows.
4. If stack warns that `~/.local/bin` or the Windows equivalent is not in your `$PATH`,
configure that, so that commands like `hledger` will work.
Eg if you're a bash user:\
`echo "export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin" >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc`
Or use [`cabal`](https://www.haskell.org/cabal/) if you prefer and know how.
It's harder to use and to support, so these docs focus on stack.
Haskell builds can fail due to missing C libraries or headers, which stack/cabal can not install.
If you have this problem, here are some C libs you might need (please send updates):
|
|--------------------|-----------------------------------
| **Debian, Ubuntu** | `sudo apt install ... ?`
| **Fedora, RHEL** | `sudo dnf install ncurses-devel`
## C. I want to build the [latest development version](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/commits/master)
This includes the latest features and is normally stable enough for daily use (it's what I use).
1. Install stack and GHC (steps 1 and 2 above) and [git](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git)
2. `git clone http://code.hledger.org hledger`
3. `cd hledger`
4. `stack install [hledger] [hledger-ui] [hledger-web] [hledger-api]`
cabal users, try `./cabal-install.sh` instead.
