# Download ## I want to download a packaged version

on Windows	Download and run [hledger-0.26-win64.exe](http://hledger.org/downloads/hledger-0.26-win64.exe) and/or [hledger-web-0.26-win64.exe](http://hledger.org/downloads/hledger-web-0.26-win64.exe) (The current release is 0.27. To contribute binaries for windows or mac, please get in touch.)
on Mac	`brew install hledger`
on Debian or Ubuntu	`apt-get install hledger hledger-web`
on Gentoo	`layman -a haskell && emerge hledger hledger-web`
on Fedora	`yum install hledger`
on NixOS	`nix-env -iA nixpkgs.haskellPackages.hledger nixpkgs.haskellPackages.hledger-web`

## I want to build the latest release (0.27) **with stack** (most reliable, recommended) 1. Install [`stack`](http://haskellstack.org) (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 install hledger [hledger-ui] [hledger-web]` 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 $PATH). **with cabal** (results will vary, recommended only if you can't install stack): 1. Install [GHC](http://haskell.org/ghc) and [cabal](http://haskell.org/cabal/download.html) if needed. 2. Ensure `~/.cabal/bin` or the Windows equivalent is in your `$PATH`. 3. `cabal update` 4. `cabal install alex happy` 5. `mkdir hledger-sandbox` 6. `cd hledger-sandbox` 7. `cabal sandbox init` 8. `cabal install hledger[-ui|-web]` (On Windows, hledger-ui is [not yet supported](https://github.com/coreyoconnor/vty/pull/1).) 9. Ensure this `.../hledger-sandbox/.cabal-sandbox/bin` is in your `$PATH` (or move its contents to ~/.cabal/bin). **in a VM** - if stack or cabal can't run on your OS, maybe this [vagrant image](https://github.com/sciurus/hledger-vagrant) can ? Here are the [release notes](release-notes.html). ## I want to build the [unreleased git version](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/commits/master) 1. `git clone http://code.hledger.org hledger` 2. `cd hledger` 3. `stack install` See also the [Developer Guide](http://hledger.org/developer-guide.html).
