<div class="box">
9+
<h1>Take Notice</h1>
10+
<p>
11+
The packages on this page include only the GHC compiler. For most users,
12+
we recommend installing a
13+
<a href="http://www.haskell.org/downloads">proper Haskell distribution</a>
14+
instead of GHC alone. A distribution includes a recent GHC release as well
15+
as other important tools (such as <code>cabal-install</code>, for
16+
installing libraries), and potentially a broader set of libraries known to
17+
work together.
18+
</p>
19+
</div>
20+
21+
<div class="box">
22+
<h1>Bundled packages and cabal-install</h1>
23+
<p>
24+
GHC 8.4 only works
25+
with <a href="http://hackage.haskell.org/package/cabal-install"><code>cabal-install</code></a>
26+
version 2.2 or later. Please upgrade if you have an older version of
27+
<code>cabal-install</code>.
28+

29+
</div>
30+
31+
<div class="box">
32+
<h1>Optional LLVM dependency</h1>
33+
<p>
34+
GHC has an optional code generator targetting
35+
the <a href="http://www.llvm.org/">LLVM</a> compiler framework which can
36+
produce faster code for some programs. If you would like to use the LLVM
37+
backend, you'll need to install LLVM 5.0 from
38+
an <a href="http://llvm.org/releases/download.html#5.0.1">upstream binary
39+
distribution</a> or via your distribution's package manager.

<h2>Distribution packages</h2>
55+
<p>
56+
GHC is packaged for a number of operating systems and
57+
distributions. While they may lag behind the latest GHC
58+
release, advantages such as dependency checking and ease of
59+
uninstallation mean we recommend using them anyway, unless
60+
you have a particular need for new features or bug fixes.

68+
<h2>Binary Packages</h2>
69+
70+
<p>
71+
The operating system-specific packages (e.g. RPM or <tt>.deb</tt> packages
72+
on Linux) are generally a better bet than the vanilla <tt>.tar.xz</tt>
73+
binary bundles, because they will check for dependencies and allow the
74+
package to be uninstalled at a later date.
75+
</p>
76+
77+
<p>
78+
However, if you don't have permission to install binaries on your system,
79+
or you want to install somewhere other than the default place
80+
(<tt>/usr</tt> or <tt>/usr/local</tt> on a Unix system), then you'll need
81+
to use a <tt>.tar.xz</tt> binary bundle.
82+
</p>
83+
84+
<p>
85+
SHA-256 hashes for all of these binary distributions are
86+
available <a href="$downloads_url$/SHA256SUMS">here</a>.
87+
</p>
88+
89+
<p>
90+
All of these tarballs are have associated GPG signatures. Unless otherwise
91+
noted the signature should be from <code>Benjamin Gamari
92+
&lt;[email protected]&gt;</code> (key
93+
ID <a href="http://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=0x2DE04D4E97DB64AD">97DB64AD</a>).

The source tarballs provide everything necessary to build the compiler,

interactive system, and a minimal set of libraries. For more information
250+
on building, see
251+
the <a href="http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building">building

255+
256+
<p>
257+
The testsuite provides a thorough set of tests for validating your build.
258+
Unpack this tarball on top of the regular source distribution in order to
259+
run the testsuite (see
260+
the <a href="https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/RunningTests">testing
261+
guide</a> for details).

270+

The source distribution needs an installed GHC (version 8.0 at least). If
273+
your platform isn't currently supported with a binary distribution, then
274+
you'll need to consult the section

on <a href="http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Porting">Porting
