# Happy Haskell Programming
[](https://travis-ci.org/kazu-yamamoto/ghc-mod)
Please read: [http://www.mew.org/~kazu/proj/ghc-mod/](http://www.mew.org/~kazu/proj/ghc-mod/)
## Using the stable version
The Emacs front-end is available from
[*stable* MELPA](http://melpa-stable.milkbox.net/). This package should
always be compatible with the latest version of ghc-mod from hackage.
To use stable *stable* MELPA add this to your `.emacs`:
```elisp
(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
'("melpa" . "http://melpa-stable.milkbox.net/packages/"))
(package-initialize)
```
With this configuration you can install the Emacs front end from MELPA (the
package is called `ghc` there, not `ghc-mod`) and install the
`ghc-mod`/`ghc-modi` binaries from hackage by doing:
```shell
% cabal update && cabal install ghc-mod
```
### Nix & NixOS
The installation is a little more involved in this environment as Nix needs some
ugly hacks to get packages using the GHC API to work, please refer to this
stackoverflow answer:

## Using the development version
The easiest way to hack on ghc-mod is compile it, then add `dist/build/ghc-mod`
and `dist/build/ghc-modi` to your `PATH` and add the `elisp/` directory to your
Emacs `load-path`.
Make sure you're not using the MELPA version of `ghc.el` otherwise you might get
all sorts of nasty conflicts.
## Custom ghc-mod cradle
To customize the package databases used by `ghc-mod`, put a file called `ghc-mod.cradle` beside the `.cabal` file with the following syntax:
```
temp directory root
package db 1
...
package db n
```
each package database line is either a *path* to a package database, or `global` or `user`.
## IRC
If you have any problems, suggestions, comments swing by
[\#ghc-mod (web client)](https://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.freenode.org/ghc-mod) on
Freenode. If you're reporting a bug please also create an issue
[here](https://github.com/kazu-yamamoto/ghc-mod/issues) so we have a way to contact
you if you don't have time to stay.
Do hang around for a while if no one answers and repeat your question if you
still haven't gotten any answer after a day or so. You're most likely to get an
answer during the day in GMT+1.
