The Haskell toolchain consists of the following tools:

  • GHC: the Glasgow Haskell Compiler
  • cabal-install: the Cabal installation tool for managing Haskell software
  • Stack: a cross-platform program for developing Haskell projects
  • haskell-language-server (optional): A language server for developers to integrate with their editor/IDE

Installation via native OS package manager

Alternatively, many operating systems provide GHC, cabal and Stack through their native package manager. The packages are often out-of-date but if you prefer to use this method of installation then you will find useful links below.
