GHCup is an installer for the general purpose language Haskell and it's development environmental tools.[2] It belongs to the basics of Haskell. [3][4][5][6]

The need for GCHup

  • Installation of the supported tools
  • GHCup is a prerequisite for the extension Haskell for Visual Studio Code[7]

Characteristics and differentiation [8]

  • Central tool that manages installations of the supported tools
  • GHCup is not a replacement for stack. Instead, it supports installing and managing stack versions.

  1. simplicity
  2. non-interactive CLI
  3. portable
  4. do one thing and do it well (UNIX philosophy)
