Release notes

Recommended:

1. Download and install stack (on windows, choose the 64-bit version if you will be processing >50k transactions)

2. stack --resolver nightly-2015-07-13 setup

   (do this if you need GHC, eg on windows. If you’re not sure, run the next command and it will tell you)

3. stack --resolver nightly-2015-07-13 install hledger

   (on windows, stack can’t install the latest hledger-web yet)

Or:

1. Install GHC and cabal
2. cabal install alex happy (if these are not already in your PATH)
3. cabal update
4. cabal sandbox init
5. cabal install hledger[-web]

I want to build the latest master branch

1. git clone https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger.git (shortcut: git clone code.hledger.org hledger)
2. cd hledger
3. stack install (or cabal sandbox init; cabal install ./hledger{-lib,,-web})
