Download

I want to download and run

on Windows	Download, unzip, and run hledger-0.26-win64.zip and/or hledger-web-0.26-win64.zip
on Mac	Use stack or cabal (see below)
on Debian or Ubuntu	`apt-get install hledger hledger-web`
on Gentoo	`emerge hledger hledger-web`
on Fedora	`yum install hledger`
on NixOS	`nix-env -iA nixpkgs.haskellPackages.hledger nixpkgs.haskellPackages.hledgerWeb`
in a Virtualbox VM	Try https://github.com/sciurus/hledger-vagrant

Using the stack tool (easiest, recommended):

SNAPSHOT for 0.27 will be announced when ready, until then use cabal or see “build the latest master branch” below

Install stack (on Windows, you should choose the 64-bit stack download if you will be processing >50,000 transactions at a time with hledger, cf #275).
stack setup (if you need GHC installed. If you’re not sure, run the next command and it will tell you.)
stack --resolver SNAPSHOT install hledger (the command-line UI), or
stack --resolver SNAPSHOT install hledger-ui (the terminal UI; not available on Windows; includes the above), or
stack --resolver SNAPSHOT install hledger-web (the web UI; includes the above)
stack will report where it installed the binaries (~/.local/bin or the Windows equivalent). You should ensure this directory is in your $PATH (stack will let you know), so that you can just type hledger to run it.

Without stack, the process is much more variable; this is most likely to work:
