Question

I skimmed some tutorials about installing Haskell on Ubuntu. They basically told about Ubuntu 11 and mentioned that it took a lot of effort. I found nothing about installing Haskell on Ubuntu 12.

Is there any tutorial or something about how to do it? Is there an installer for Ubuntu 12 x64?

Answer 1

I think

sudo aptitude install haskell-platform

should do the trick.

On second thoughts, if you do not have aptitude installed, you can do the same with

sudo apt-get install haskell-platform

From there, you can access the REPL by invoking ghci from the command line.
