Packaged versions are the quickest to install, but they sometimes lag behind the
|
|
latest release, or provide only some of the hledger tools.

## B. I want to build the latest release
|
|
|
|
The latest release (see [release notes](release-notes.html)) is a good choice.
|
|
You have to build it, but this is relatively easy:
|
|
|
|
1. **Install [`stack`](http://haskell-lang.org/get-started)**\
|
|
\
|
|
Avoid using versions older than 1.0 which give ["Invalid package ID" errors](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/issues/513);
|
|
latest version is good.\
|
|
On Windows, the 64-bit version is [recommended](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/issues/275#issuecomment-123834252).\
|
|
On Arch, you [may need to also install GHC manually](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/issues/434).\
|
|
Ensure [`~/.local/bin` (or Windows equivalent) is added to your \$PATH](https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/install_and_upgrade/#path).
|
|
Eg if you're a bash user:\
|
|
`echo "export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin" >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc`
|
|
|
|
2. **`stack install hledger-lib-1.3 hledger-1.3 [hledger-ui-1.3] [hledger-web-1.3] [hledger-api-1.3]`**\
|
|
\
|
|
Don't type the square brackets; they indicate optional packages which you can omit to save time.\
|
|
hledger-ui is [not yet available on Windows](https://github.com/jtdaugherty/vty/pull/1#issuecomment-297143444).\
|
|
This command installs the latest released hledger packages (and the haskell libraries and tools they depend on) from an
|
|
[appropriate](https://www.stackage.org/package/hledger-lib)
|
|
[stackage](https://www.stackage.org/package/hledger)
|
|
[snapshot](https://www.stackage.org/package/hledger-ui)
|
|
[and/or](https://www.stackage.org/package/hledger-web)
|
|
[hackage](https://www.stackage.org/package/hledger-api),
|
|
and will take a while.\
|
|
You can add `--dry-run` to see what it plans to do, and kill/restart it without losing progress.\
|
|
If it says you need to run `stack setup`, do that then run the install command again.\
|
|
If it says "Error: While constructing the build plan...", try adding `--resolver=lts` to the install command, or setting a newer resolver in `$HOME/.stack/global/stack.yaml`.\
|
|
On Mac, if it says "ghc: panic! ... no suitable image found", you may need to specify GHC 8.0.2+/lts-8+, as above.\
|
|
If it gives "Invalid package ID" errors, get a newer version of stack (see step 1).\
|
|
If you're a [cabal](https://www.haskell.org/cabal/) expert, feel free to use that instead of stack.\
|
|
If you get errors due to missing C libraries (like curses or terminfo), install those manually, eg:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|-----------------|-----------------------------------
|
|
| Debian, Ubuntu: | `sudo apt install libncurses5-dev`
|
|
| Fedora, RHEL: | `sudo dnf install ncurses-devel`
|
|
|
|
If you need to build with an older GHC version for some reason, these commands should work
|
|
(except on Mac sierra which [requires GHC 8.0.2+](https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12479)):\
|
|
GHC 7.10.3: `stack install --resolver lts-6 hledger-lib-1.3 hledger-1.3 hledger-ui-1.3 hledger-web-1.3 hledger-api-1.3 megaparsec-5.3.1 brick-0.19 vty-5.15.1 data-clist-0.1.2.0 text-zipper-0.10`\
|
|
GHC 8.0.1: `stack install --resolver lts-7 hledger-lib-1.3 hledger-1.3 hledger-ui-1.3 hledger-web-1.3 hledger-api-1.3 brick-0.19 vty-5.15.1 data-clist-0.1.2.0`
|
|
|
|
Now you should be able to run `hledger --version` and see a version similar to the above
|
|
(and `hledger-ui --version`, `hledger-web --version` etc. if you installed those).
|
|
|
|
<!--(The exact steps depend on your OS, cabal version and expertise.)-->
|
|
<!--
|
|
Short version:\
|
|
`cabal update && cabal install hledger [hledger-ui] [hledger-web] [hledger-api]`
|
|
-->
|
|
<!--
|
|
If you're brand new to cabal, these steps should work on unix-like systems
|
|
(on Windows, adjust commands and paths as needed):
|
|
|
|
1. Install [GHC](http://haskell.org/ghc) and [cabal](http://haskell.org/cabal/download.html) if needed,
|
|
eg from [https://www.haskell.org/downloads](https://www.haskell.org/downloads)
|
|
2. Ensure `~/.cabal/bin` or the Windows equivalent is in your `$PATH`,
|
|
eg `echo "export PATH=$PATH:~/.cabal/bin" >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc`
|
|
3. `cabal update`
|
|
4. `cabal install alex happy`
|
|
5. `mkdir hledger-sandbox`
|
|
6. `cd hledger-sandbox`
|
|
7. `cabal sandbox init`
|
|
8. `cabal install hledger-1.0.1 [hledger-ui-1.0.2] [hledger-web-1.0.1] [hledger-api-1.0]`
|
|
9. `mv .cabal-sandbox/bin/hledger* ~/.cabal/bin`
|
|
10. `cd ..; rm -rf hledger-sandbox`
|

## C. I want to build the development version
|
|
|
|
The latest [master branch](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/commits/master) includes not-yet-released features and is stable enough for daily use.
|
|
|
|
1. **Install [`stack`](http://haskell-lang.org/get-started) and [git](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git)**
|
|
(see notes in B above)
|
|
2. **`git clone http://code.hledger.org hledger`**
|
|
3. **`cd hledger`**
|
|
4. **`stack install`**
|
|
|
|
Cabal users can use the `cabal-install.sh` or `cabal.project` files instead.
|
|
|

|
|
|
## D. I want to install more commands
|
|
|
|
Additional [add-on commands](/hledger.html#third-party-add-ons)
|
|
can be installed. Eg:\
|
|
`stack install hledger-iadd-1.2.1` or `stack install --resolver nightly hledger-iadd`.
|
|
|
|
More, [experimental add-ons](/hledger.html#experimental-add-ons) are
|
|
included in the hledger source repo; to install these:
|
|
|
|
1. **Download the hledger source code** (as in C above)
|
|
2. **In the hledger directory, run `bin/compile.sh`** (installs dependencies & compiles for speed)
|
|
3. **Add the `hledger/bin/` directory to your `$PATH`** (as in B above)
|
|
|
|
Now you should be able to run `hledger iadd --version`, `hledger check --help` etc.
