Although [`cabal-install`](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/cabal-install) manages Haskell library dependencies and can select a specific version of `ghc` (see [`with-compiler`](https://cabal.readthedocs.io/en/latest/nix-local-build.html#cfg-flag---with-compiler)), it will fail if the required version of `ghc` is not available. Unfortunately, many operating systems do not offer a way to install specific versions of `ghc`. Although [`cabal-install`](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/cabal-install) automatically installs Haskell library dependencies, and selects a specific version of `ghc` (see [`with-compiler`](https://cabal.readthedocs.io/en/latest/nix-local-build.html#cfg-flag---with-compiler)).

`ghcup` makes it easy to install specific versions of `ghc` on GNU/Linux, and can also bootstrap a fresh Haskell developer environment from scratch. `ghcup` makes it easy to install specific versions of `ghc` on GNU/Linux, and can also bootstrap a fresh Haskell developer environment from scratch.
