# Installing Haskell Alright, time to finally install Haskell and start writing some code. The recommended way to install Haskell is via GHCup ([https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/](https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/#)), which will get you up and running quickly with several tools, most notably, the Glasgow Haskell Compiler (GHC). We mentioned at the start that Haskell is a compiled language, which means we have to compile our programs to computer code first before being able to run them. However, GHC comes with an interpreter (GHCi) which allows us to play with Haskell interactively without having to compile our code beforehand. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://haskell.hpmeducation.com/introduction/installing-haskell.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
