hledger (http://hledger.org) is a reliable, cross-platform program for
|
|
tracking money, time or other commodities, using double-entry
|
|
accounting and simple plain text file formats. It provides
|
|
command-line, curses and web interfaces, and aims to be a pleasant and
|
|
practical tool for personal, business or institutional use.
|
|
|
|
I'm pleased to announce hledger 1.9. The version jump signals some
|
|
noteworthy changes still landing (normal-positive reports, budget
|
|
reporting) which are a kind of preview of 2.0. The next major release,
|
|
on 2018/06/30, will be hledger 2.0. Thank you to release contributors:
|
|
|
|
Eli Flanagan,
|
|
Peter Simons,
|
|
Christoph Nicolai,
|
|
agander,
|
|
M Parker,
|
|
Moritz Kiefer,
|
|
Mykola Orliuk.
|
|
|
|
Highlights:
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
* the "financial statement" commands bs/bse/cf/is now show all normal
|
|
balances as positive numbers, producing more conventional financial
|
|
reports which are easier to share with others. (experimental)
|
|
|
|
* bal/bs/bse/cf/is can now generate HTML reports
|
|
|
|
* account codes can be used to customize account sorting
|
|
|
|
* numbers in scientific E-notation are supported, eg in journal and CSV data
|
|
|
|
* budget report improvements
|
|
|
|
* general report cleanups

Get started:
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
See http://hledger.org/download for all install methods.
|
|
Often, to get the latest release you will need to build it.
|
|
Here are some ways to do that:
|
|
|
|
Using the hledger-install script, which requires only bash and will
|
|
build and install the hledger tools in $HOME/.local/bin/.
|
|
(Note: building haskell apps can take significant time, memory, and
|
|
disk space, especially the first time. You can kill and restart the
|
|
installer without losing progress. If it fails, please help us
|
|
improve it by reporting the full output):
|
|
|
|
$ curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/simonmichael/hledger/master/hledger-install/hledger-install.sh
|
|
$ less hledger-install.sh # (do security review)
|
|
$ bash hledger-install.sh # (add -v for more detail; use bash -x to show commands being run)
|
|
|
|
Using hledger-install the more convenient, less secure way:
|
|
|
|
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/simonmichael/hledger/master/hledger-install/hledger-install.sh | bash
|
|
|
|
Using stack:
|
|
|
|
$ stack install hledger-lib-1.9 hledger-1.9 # hledger-ui-1.9 hledger-web-1.9 hledger-api-1.9
|
|
|
|
Using cabal:
|
|
|
|
$ cabal update
|
|
$ cabal install hledger-1.9 # hledger-ui-1.9 hledger-web-1.9 hledger-api-1.9
|
|
|
|
After installation, ensure $HOME/.local/bin is in your $PATH.
|
|
Now try some commands:
|
|
|
|
$ hledger -h # quick help
|
|
$ hledger help # list built-in manuals
|
|
$ hledger add # record some transactions
|
|
$ hledger # list available commands
|
|
|
|
Now perhaps work through the tutorial at
|
|
https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/wiki/hledger-basics-tutorial.
|
|
Or review the fine documents at http://hledger.org and
|
|
http://plaintextaccounting.org. Or say hello and ask questions in the
|
|
#hledger IRC channel on Freenode: http://irc.hledger.org.
