## I want to build the latest release
**Using the stack tool** (easiest, recommended):
1. Install [`stack`](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/wiki/Downloads)
    (on Windows, you should choose the 64-bit stack download if you will be
processing >50,000 transactions at a time with hledger, cf [#275](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/issues/275)).
2. `stack setup`
    (if you need GHC, eg on Windows. If you're not sure, run the next command and it will tell you.)
3. `stack install hledger` (the command-line UI), or\
   `stack install hledger-ui` (the terminal UI; not available on Windows; includes the above), or\
   `stack install hledger-web` (the web UI; includes the above)
4. stack will report where it installed the binaries (`~/.local/bin` or the Windows equivalent).
   You should ensure this directory is in your `$PATH` (stack will let you know),
   so that you can just type `hledger` to run it.
**Without stack,** the process is much more variable; this is most likely to work:
1. Install [GHC](http://haskell.org/ghc) and [cabal](http://haskell.org/cabal/download.html) if needed
2. `cabal update`
3. `cabal install alex happy`
4. `cabal sandbox init`
5. `cabal install hledger[-ui|-web]`
6. Ensure `~/.cabal/bin` or the Windows equivalent is in your `$PATH`
## I want to build the latest [master branch](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/commits/master)
See the [Developer Guide](http://hledger.org/developer-guide.html), or just:
1. `git clone http://code.hledger.org hledger`
2. `cd hledger`
3. `stack install`
