Programming Language Paradigms:
Explorations with Functional Problem Solving (supported by Scheme/Haskell) and Declarative Prblem Solving (supported by Prolog)

Haskell Installation

Work with Haskell for this course will utilize the Glasgow Haskell Compiler: https://www.haskell.org/platform/

If you are using Linux or Mac OS X (or maybe Windows?):

After clicking on https://www.haskell.org/platform/ link, click on the "Downloads" menu link at the top of the page.
- When going to the Haskell Platform page, the system may have identified the details of your operating system (e.g., Mac or Windows), and you may be able to click on a link to get started.
- If you do not find a link specifically for your operating system, click the "Downloads" menu link at the top of the page.
  - Within the "Downloads" page, scroll down to the "Haskell Platform" section.
  - Find the "How to get it" subsection. Click the link for your system (e.g., Linus, Mac OS S, or Windows).
  - Follow the directions (which require an additional link for Windows machines).

If you are using Windows

Consider using a VirtualBox and umbutu environment, running under windows.

Directions may be found at recommendations by Paul Monaghan

Once Haskell is Installed

We will be using Haskell in an interactive environment. For this environment, once Haskell is installed, the you will need to create a new project, as follows:

General directions	Example
create a new directory, download relevant parts of the compiler, build a minimal project start running	for a new projectName, type stack new projectName cd project-name stack setup stack build stack ghci (note: no dashes allowed in programName)
