I want to download and run a recent release

I’m on Debian or Ubuntu apt-get install hledger hledger-web I’m on Gentoo emerge hledger hledger-web I’m on Red Hat/Fedora/CentOS yum install hledger hledger-web I’m on NixOS nix-env -iA nixpkgs.haskellPackages.hledger nixpkgs.haskellPackages.hledgerWeb

I’m on Windows Download, unzip, and run: hledger-0.25.windows.zip hledger-web-0.25.windows.zip I’m on Mac Use cabal (see below) Building and supporting Windows and Mac binaries is costly, so it’s demand-driven - you can indicate demand by making a project donation of any size. Binaries funded in this way will be linked here. This is a quick way to help the project and your fellow users!

I want to build the latest release:

Recommended:

1. Download and install stack (on windows, choose the 64-bit version if you will be processing large data)

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

   (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. stack install hledger-web-0.24.1 will install an older version)

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]

The old Installation Guide has more notes on this process. Release Notes shows what’s new in the hledger packages.

I want to build the latest development version

1. git clone https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger.git
2. cd hledger
3. stack install (or cabal install as shown above)

I want to run the Ubuntu hledger packages in a virtual machine
