| There are several ways to install hledger:
 | |
| 
 | |
| a. [Download the binary or system package for your platform](#a) (quick install, often out of date)
 | |
| b. [Build the latest release with hledger-install](#b)
 | |
|   or [with stack](#b2)
 | |
|   or [with cabal](#b3) (slow install, up to date)
 | |
| c. [Build the development version with stack or cabal](#c) (slow install, cutting edge)

| ## b. Build the latest release
 | |
| 
 | |
| Good choice! You'll get the latest features and fixes mentioned in the [release notes](release-notes.html),
 | |
| and you'll be in a good position to give feedback and get support.
 | |
| Below are three ways to build the latest release, in order of preference.
 | |
| But first, some tips:
 | |
| 
 | |
| - Building all hledger tools and dependencies for the first time could
 | |
|   take as much as an hour, 1-2G of free memory, and 1-2G of disk
 | |
|   space.  You can kill and restart the build without losing progress,
 | |
|   and future builds will be much faster.
 | |
| 
 | |
| - If you get link errors (eg: "/bin/ld.gold: error: cannot find -ltinfo"), 
 | |
|   you might need to install some extra system packages and try again.
 | |
|   To find the right system package, check the list below, or do a web search for the error message
 | |
|   (and please send updates for this list):
 | |
| 
 | |
|     |
 | |
|     |-----------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------

|     | CentOS:         | **`sudo yum install -y libstdc++-devel ncurses-devel zlib-devel`** <!-- https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/issues/715 -->
 | |
|     | Debian, Ubuntu: | **`sudo apt install -y libtinfo-dev`**
 | |
|     | Fedora, RHEL:   | **`sudo dnf install -y gmp-devel ncurses-devel`**
 | |
|

| <div style="margin-left:1em; margin-bottom:2em;">
 | |
| 
 | |
| <a name="b1"></a>
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### b1. with hledger-install
 | |
| 
 | |
| On systems with bash installed (mac, linux, unix-like windows..),
 | |
| if you don't already have stack or cabal, or if you are having trouble with them,
 | |
| [hledger-install](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/tree/master/hledger-install)
 | |
| is an easy and reliable way to get the latest hledger.
 | |
| It automates the install process using stack or cabal, avoiding common pitfalls:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   **`curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/simonmichael/hledger/master/hledger-install/hledger-install.sh > hledger-install.sh`**\
 | |
|   **`less hledger-install.sh`**  *# satisfy yourself that the script is safe*\
 | |
|   **`bash hledger-install.sh`**
 | |
| 
 | |
| <a name="b2"></a>
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### b2. with stack
 | |
| 
 | |
| [`stack`](http://haskell-lang.org/get-started) is the more reliable of Haskell's two build tools, for new users.
 | |
| You need stack 1.7.1 or newer; the latest release is best.
 | |
| On 64-bit Windows, use the 64-bit version of stack.
 | |
| The following command installs the main hledger packages;
 | |
| you can save some time by omitting hledger-ui, hledger-web and/or hledger-api (optional user interfaces).
 | |
| On Windows, hledger-ui is not available.
 | |
| To estimate the build time, add `--dry-run`:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   **`stack install --resolver=lts-12 megaparsec-7.0.4 cassava-megaparsec-2.0.0 config-ini-0.2.3.0 hledger-lib-1.12 hledger-1.12 hledger-ui-1.12 hledger-web-1.12 hledger-api-1.12`**\
 | |
| 
 | |
| Other [add-ons](/hledger.html#third-party-add-ons)
 | |
| like
 | |
| [hledger-diff](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-diff),
 | |
| [hledger-iadd](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-iadd),
 | |
| or [hledger-interest](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-interest)
 | |
| can be installed like so:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   **`stack install --resolver=lts-12 megaparsec-7.0.4 cassava-megaparsec-2.0.0 config-ini-0.2.3.0 hledger-lib-1.12 hledger-diff-0.2.0.14 hledger-iadd-1.3.7 hledger-interest-1.5.3`**\
 | |
| 
 | |
| <a name="b3"></a>
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### b3. with cabal
 | |
| 
 | |
| [cabal](https://www.haskell.org/cabal/) is the other Haskell build tool. If you're a cabal expert, use it in the usual way, eg:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   **`cabal update`**\
 | |
|   **`cabal install hledger-1.12 hledger-ui-1.12 hledger-web-1.12 hledger-api-1.12 hledger-diff-0.2.0.14 hledger-iadd-1.3.7 hledger-interest-1.5.3`**\
 | |
| 
 | |
| </div>
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### Set up PATH
 | |
| 
 | |
| You will probably 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, to preempt older hledger system packages you may have installed).
 | |
| The install directory is:
 | |
| 
 | |
| |                    | on non-Windows systems | on Windows 
 | |
| |--------------------|------------------------|------------------------------------------
 | |
| | If stack was used  | `$HOME/.local/bin`     | `%APPDATA%\local\bin` (eg `C:\Users\Joe\AppData\Roaming\local\bin`)
 | |
| | If cabal was used  | `$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:$PATH" >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc`**
 | |
| 
 | |
| \
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### Test the installation
 | |
| 
 | |
| You should now be able to run the hledger tools (whichever ones you installed) and see the expected versions:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   `$`**`hledger --version`**\
 | |
|   `hledger 1.12`\
 | |
|   `$`**`hledger-ui --version`**\
 | |
|   `hledger-ui 1.12`\
 | |
|   `$`**`hledger web --version`**\
 | |
|   `hledger-web 1.12`\
 | |
|   `$`**`hledger iadd --version`**\
 | |
|   `This is hledger-iadd version 1.3.7`\
 | |
| 
 | |
| And you can check that the unit tests pass (just for fun):
 | |
| 
 | |
|   `$`**`hledger test`**\
 | |
|   `...`\
 | |
|   `✅  188 tests passed, no failures! 👍 🎉`\
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| <a name="c"></a>
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## c. Build the development version
 | |
| 
 | |
| Also a good choice. Our master branch 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/).
 | |
| Eg, 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.
 | |
| 
 | |
| See the troubleshooting, PATH, and test tips [above](#b).
 | |
| Note development builds will have a .99 suffix (eg 1.12.99 means "1.13-dev").
 | |
| 
 |
