## Installation
## Quick Installation

`haskell-mode` is best installed as a package.
Make sure you have this in your [init file](http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Init-File.html) (usually `~/.emacs`). If you already have `custom-set-variables`, merge its contents:

To install `haskell-mode` you need to add a package archive repository that distributes
`haskell-mode`. Execute

```
M-x customize-option RET package-archives
```

and add

Archive name: melpa-stable
URL or directory name: http://stable.melpa.org/packages/

Fetch list of packages with
```elisp
(require 'package)
(add-hook 'haskell-mode-hook 'haskell-indentation-mode)
(custom-set-variables
;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
'(package-archives
(quote
(("gnu" . "http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")
("melpa-stable" . "http://stable.melpa.org/packages/")))))
```

Then run emacs, and evaluate:

M-x package-refresh-contents

Voila! `haskell-mode` is installed! You should be able to edit Haskell
source code in color now.

You need to enable indentation as this does not happen automatically
currently. Add this line to your ~/.emacs file:

```el
(add-hook 'haskell-mode-hook 'haskell-indentation-mode)

```

`Haskell-mode` has much much much more to offer but the above should get you
going!
