+The current version of OCaml is 4.02.1 (released October 2014).
+
+* *Another instruction page focuses on [OPAM](http://ocaml.org/docs/install.html), also [this](https://opam.ocaml.org).*
+
+* *[More details about installing OCaml on Macs, if needed](http://cocan.org/getting_started_with_ocaml_on_mac_os_x)*
+
+* In your web browser:
+
+ There is a (slow, bare-bones) version of OCaml available for online use at <http://try.ocamlpro.com/>.
+
+
+* **To install in Windows**
+
+ Go to <http://caml.inria.fr/download.en.html>.
+ You can probably download and install the
+ "Self installer for the port based on the MinGW toolchain"
+ even if you don't know what MinGW or Cygwin are.
+ Some features of this require Cygwin, but it looks like
+ it should mostly work even for users without Cygwin.
+ At the time of this writing, only an installer for the previous
+ version of OCaml (3.11.0, from January 2010) is available.
+
+ To install the Findlib add-on, you must have the
+ Cygwin system installed. We assume few of you do,
+ so we're not going to try to explain how to do this.
+ If you want to figure it out yourself, go to the
+ Findlib website at <http://projects.camlcity.org/projects/findlib.html>.
+
+* **To install on Mac without MacPorts**
+
+ To install OCaml 3.12 (just released this summer), go to
+ <http://caml.inria.fr/download.en.html>
+ and download and install the "Binary distribution for Mac OS X"
+
+ To install the Findlib add-on, you'll need the Xcode development tools
+ to compile it yourself. Once you get that far, it's probably easiest
+ for you to install MacPorts and just install things using the MacPorts
+ instructions. (Use the MacPorts version of OCaml, instead of installing
+ the package from the caml.inria.fr website, as described above)
+ However, if you do have Xcode, and want to do without MacPorts, then
+ what you need to do is download Findlib from
+ <http://download.camlcity.org/download/findlib-1.2.6.tar.gz>.
+ Unpack the download, open a Terminal and go into the folder you just
+ unpacked, and type:
+
+ ./configure
+ make package-macosx
+
+ This will build an installer package which you should be able to
+ double-click and install.
+
+* **To install on Mac with MacPorts**
+
+ You can install the previous version of OCaml (3.11.2,
+ from January 2010), together with the Findlib add-on, by opening a Terminal
+ and typing:
+
+ sudo port install ocaml caml-findlib
+
+ As with Scheme, it's helpful to also have rlwrap installed, and to start OCaml as `rlwrap ocaml`. This gives
+ you a nice history of the commands you've already typed, which you can scroll up and down in with your
+ keyboard arrows.
+
+* **To install on Linux**
+
+ Use your packaging system, for example, open a Terminal and
+ type:
+
+ sudo apt-get install ocaml ocaml-findlib
+
+ That will install a version of OCaml and the Findlib add-on.
+
+ If for some reason you can't get OCaml through your
+ packaging system, you can go to
+ <http://caml.inria.fr/download.en.html>.
+ Pre-packaged binary installers are available for several Linux systems.
+
+ If you can't get findlib through your packaging system, you'll
+ need to download it from
+ <http://download.camlcity.org/download/findlib-1.2.6.tar.gz>.
+ and use gcc to compile it yourself. If you don't know how to
+ do that, you probably don't want to attempt this.
+ Here are the INSTALL notes:
+ <https://godirepo.camlcity.org/svn/lib-findlib/trunk/INSTALL>.
+
+ As with Scheme, it's helpful to also have rlwrap installed, and to start OCaml as `rlwrap ocaml`. This gives
+ you a nice history of the commands you've already typed, which you can scroll up and down in with your
+ keyboard arrows.

+## Getting Haskell ##
+
+This last installation is less crucial than the others, since we will be focusing
+primarily on Scheme and OCaml. However we, and the readings you come across,
+will sometimes mention Haskell, so it might be worth your installing this too,
+so that you have it available to play around with.
