I'm quite new to this myself, but I can provide this advice. You should definitely install cabal-install and cabal first.
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/wiki/CabalInstall It's tricky, though, because it also has dependencies on a few packages that you need to install first. base (>=2 && <2.0), bytestring (>=0.9), Cabal (>=1.6 && <1.7), filepath (>=1.0), HTTP (>=4000.0.2 && <4001), network (>=1 && <3), unix (>=2.0 && <2.4), zlib (>=0.4 && <0.6) or base (>=2.0 && <2.2), Cabal (>=1.6 && <1.7), filepath (>=1.0), HTTP (>=4000.0.2 && <4001), network (>=1 && <3), unix (>=2.0 && <2.4), zlib (>=0.4 && <0.6) You also will need to make sure that you have installed zlib from your regular distribution package manager (are you using Linux?). Actually, I haven't tested it yet, but Haskell Platform promises to take the hassle out of installing Haskell. http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Haskell_Platform I hope this works; I'll be testing it on several computers shortly. I just haven't had a chance to yet. Good luck!
