Best way to set up a haskell development platform

  • 772

I've been developing in Haskell for a while. My question is: what's the easiest way to set up a reasonable development system for Haskell? I installed the official packages, but IMO it's not working very well and sometimes conflicting with Cabal installed packages.

Is there a better platform? I possibly want to install GHC 7.0 instead of the Haskell platform.

    what's the easiest way to set up a reasonable development system for Haskell?

    The easiest, and the most reasonable way to get a Haskell environment running is:

    • sudo apt-get install haskell-platform

      or

    • Click the package to install haskell-platform Install haskell-platform

    The problem with the 7.0.1 platform is that it hasn't all been packaged up nicely for Ubuntu yet, it's still only recommended for early adopters and packagers.
