Haskell Environment Separate Installation

README.md

A few notes on haskell environment setup

GHC needs the following packages pre-installed:

sudo apt install gcc g++ build-essential curl libffi-dev zlib1g-dev libgmp-dev libgmp10 libncurses-dev libncurses5 libtinfo5

It might be a good idea to stick to ghcup as it lets us know whenever an upgrade is available. For example:

New GHC version available: 9.0.1. To upgrade, run 'ghcup install ghc 9.0.1'

Install GHCUP

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://get-ghcup.haskell.org | sh
