See `ghcup --help`.
## How
Installs a specified GHC version into `~/.ghcup/ghc/<ver>`, and places `ghc-<ver>` symlinks in `~/.ghcup/bin/`.
Optionally, an unversioned `ghc` link can point to a default version of your choice.
This uses precompiled GHC binaries that have been compiled on fedora/debian by [upstream GHC](https://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_8_6_1.html#binaries).
Alternatively, you can also tell it to compile from source (note that this might fail due to missing requirements).
In addition this script can also install `cabal-install`.
