## Building from source
You can build hledger wherever the Glasgow Haskell Compiler is supported.
This can take a while, but it's normally a reliable process.
Use one of the methods below to build the current hledger release.
The hledger-install script requires only bash and installs the required tools.
Or, you can install stack or cabal yourself and deal with them directly.
| | |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| | |
| [hledger-install.sh]<br><small>*Linux,&nbsp;Mac,&nbsp;WSL*</small> | <span style="font-size:medium;">**`curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/simonmichael/hledger/master/hledger-install/hledger-install.sh -O`**<br>**`less hledger-install.sh`**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*# satisfy yourself that the script is safe*<br>**`bash hledger-install.sh`**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*# runs stack or cabal, installing stack if needed*</span> |
| [stack]<br><small>*Linux,&nbsp;Mac,&nbsp;Windows*</small> | <span style="font-size:medium;">**`stack install --resolver=lts-14.1 hledger hledger-web hledger-ui --verbosity=error`**</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*# installs GHC if needed.* |
| [cabal]<br><small>*Linux,&nbsp;Mac,&nbsp;Windows*</small> | <span style="font-size:medium;">**`cabal v2-update && cabal v2-install hledger-1.14.2 hledger-web-1.14.1 hledger-ui-1.14.2`**</span> |
On Windows, hledger-ui is not available and should be omitted from the commands above (except, it probably works in WSL).
#### Resource usage
Building Haskell programs typically involves downloading and compiling and
optimising a lot of Haskell libraries.
If you are doing it for the first time, know that building hledger could take
1-2G of disk, 1-2G of free memory, and up to an hour (though usually it's much less).
It's fine to kill a build and restart it later;
and your later builds will be much faster.
If needed, you can save time/memory/disk space by omitting the
[hledger-web](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-web) and
[hledger-ui](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-ui) packages
from the stack or cabal commands above.
To estimate the build time remaining, add `--dry-run`.
#### Using stack
The latest version of stack (2.1.3 as of 2019-07) will likely work best, so we recommend it.
If you have an older version, you can usually upgrade quickly with `stack upgrade`.
Versions older than 1.7.1 will definitely not work.
On Windows, the 64-bit version of stack is recommended.
<!--
Some other [add-on tools](/hledger.html#third-party-add-ons) like
[hledger-api](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-api),
[hledger-iadd](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-iadd),
and [hledger-interest](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-interest)
can be installed like so:
**`stack install --resolver=lts-14.1 hledger-api hledger-interest hledger-iadd hledger-interest-1.5.3 hledger-iadd-1.3.9`**
-->
<!-- <a name="b3"></a> -->
<!-- #### cabal -->
#### C libraries may be required
A few C libraries, like terminfo, are required but not installed by the commands above.
When such C libs are missing, the build will fail at the end with a link error
such as "/bin/ld.gold: error: cannot find -ltinfo".
To solve this, just install the appropriate system package(s) and run the build command again.
These package names vary by platform. If you don't see your platform below,
do a web search for the link error message (and send updates for this list):
|
|-----------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Debian, Ubuntu: | **`sudo apt install -y libtinfo-dev`**
| Fedora, RHEL: | **`sudo dnf install -y gmp-devel ncurses-devel`**
<!-- | CentOS: | **`sudo yum install -y libstdc++-devel ncurses-devel zlib-devel`** --> <!-- https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/issues/715 -->

Here are some known build issues and workarounds on certain platforms:

</span>
#### Setting $PATH may be required
After building you may see a message about where the executables were installed.
After installation, make sure this install directory is configured in your shell's \$PATH
(preferably near the start of it, in case you have older hledger binaries lying around).
The install directory is:
| | on non-Windows systems | on Windows
|--------------------|------------------------|------------------------------------------
| If stack was used | `$HOME/.local/bin` | `%APPDATA%\local\bin` (eg&nbsp;`C:\Users\Joe\AppData\Roaming\local\bin`)
| If cabal was used | `$HOME/.cabal/bin` | `%APPDATA%\cabal\bin`
How to configure \$PATH is platform- and shell-specific.
If you are using bash, this should take care of it:
**`echo "export PATH=~/.local/bin:~/.cabal/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc`**
#### Test the installation
After a successful build and install, you should be able to run the
hledger tools (whichever ones you installed) and see the expected versions:
`$`**`hledger --version`**\
`hledger 1.14.2`\
`$`**`hledger-ui --version`**\
`hledger-ui 1.14.2`\
`$`**`hledger web --version`**\
`hledger-web 1.14.1`\
`$`**`hledger iadd --version`**\
`This is hledger-iadd version 1.3.9`\
And you can check that the unit tests pass (just for fun):
`$`**`hledger test`**\
`...`\
`✅ 198 tests passed, no failures! 👍 🎉`\

### Building the development version
The master branch in hledger's git repo is stable enough for daily use,
and includes the [latest improvements](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/commits/master).
You'll need [git](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git) and
[`stack`](http://haskell-lang.org/get-started) or [cabal](https://www.haskell.org/cabal/).
This will build and install all of the main hledger tools using stack:
**`git clone https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger`**\
**`cd hledger`**\
**`stack install`**\
cabal users may find the `cabal-install.sh` or `cabal.project` files useful.
The --version output of development builds has a .99 suffix meaning "dev".
So 1.14.99 means "1.15-dev", the in-development version of 1.15.
### Building the development version with docker
You can also build development version in the docker container, which will take care of pulling
all the necessary tools and dependencies:
**`git clone https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger`**\
**`cd hledger/docker`**\
**`./build.sh`**\
This will build image tagged `hledger` with just the latest binaries inside.
If you want to keep all the build artifacts and use the resulting image for hledger development, use
`build-dev.sh` instead.
