* In a Terminal, type `sudo apt-get install haskell-platform`.
-If any of the instructions above don't work, then you can try alternative instructions for [Windows](http://new-www.haskell.org/downloads/windows) or [Mac](http://new-www.haskell.org/downloads/osx) or [Ubuntu](http://new-www.haskell.org/downloads/linux). After installing the software, you should open a terminal and type `cabal update && cabal install alex happy`. If typing `which ghci` in a Terminal doesn't give you any reply, you may need to type `echo 'export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc`, then exit and restart your Terminal session.

You can use Cabal to download and manage any extra extensions you turn out to need, down the road.
It's useful to know about the general [Haskell wiki](https://wiki.haskell.org) (not restricted to just GHC). They have a [Getting Started](https://wiki.haskell.org/Haskell_in_5_steps) page, which also recommends that you install the Haskell Platform.
