Select your distribution

Please select your distribution on the right.

Generic Linux

This is a generic distribution of the Haskell Platform. While it should work on most modern Linux distributions, you may want to investigate use one of the distribution-specific options listed on the right. As GHC links against libgmp, you may need to install "libgmp-dev" using your package manager of choice.

The recommended way to install the components of the generic platform is using ghcup to install ghc and cabal-install, and following the instructions at haskellstack.org to install stack.

$ sudo layman -a haskell
$ sudo emerge haskell-platform

More details can be found in the Wiki.
