I am programming on a school-given computer. I need to have a Haskell setup that does no installation (one I can drop on a flash drive and copy on to the C drive or just use from the flash drive perhaps).
I already have Eclipse up and running, so if I could get it on Eclipse without leaving any impact on the system past the Eclipse directory, that would be very good as well.
By no installation, I mean I have to be able to easily remove the program and roughly all traces without any uninstaller tool. All uninstaller tools are likely blocked.
What are my options?
Haskell Platform‘s Windows installer (of which I’m the maintainer) has a “portable install” option that just extracts the files to the given location and does not touch the registry or any system settings. You can use it to install Haskell Platform to your flash drive, but you’ll need to add GHC’s location to the PATH manually.
