So I started Lern You a Haskell for Great Good, then I left it
Now I bought a paper copy
I'd like to try starting again
BUT
This time I need to set up Haskell on Windows
Is that even possible ?
How to proceed ?
Follow
@abbienormal Yes, it works.
The modern way is to install everything with https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/
(that is, not from the "stores")
@underlap @dpwiz @abbienormal
On Windows you can use WSL2 or PowerShell to run the ghcup script. See https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/install/
It can also take care of installing stack along with cabal.
@dawe @dpwiz @abbienormal Nice. I must try out the PowerShell approach some time.
@dpwiz @abbienormal @dawe Hmmm. Isn't ghcup only suitable for WSL2 on Windows? I tell my students with Windows laptops just to install stack. (I don't want to force them to learn the Linux shell as well as Haskell.)
