 1. Use GHCup to install and manage Haskell toolchain.
 2. Use VSCode as the editor, with the Haskell extension installed.

-    <h4>cabal and Stack -> which one should I install?</h4>
-    We recommend installing both. Most Haskell projects can be built using Cabal, but some might require Stack. Installing both guarantees that you can use either, and while following the tutorial/book you can use whatever they recommend.

 ### Editor
-**Visual Studio Code** is a popular choice with well supported editor integration. Install the [Haskell extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=haskell.haskell) and you are all set. It should work out of the box and use your installation of HLS.

-To learn about support for other editors, check out [HLS docs for editor configuration](https://haskell-language-server.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration.html#configuring-your-editor).
